Gingrich was 8% in this poll. Thompson's 4 points above the guy who has been "not running" for 4 years now. and only 19 points behind the guy that has been running non-stop for the past 4 years.
Only 19 points. My goodness, that IS impressive. You have a right to be very proud indeed.
I played Tiger Woods in golf once and he beat me by 19 strokes. But I told him my handicap was 20 so therefore I won. So I do understand how it works.
