Out With the Old.
Although Orrin Hatch attempted to repair his image with conservatives at CPAC,
Utah voters are not buying what the 76 year old is selling.
After 31 years of Hatch’s representation in the Senate,
Beehive State voters are ready for a change.
The poll, conducted among 600 registered Utah Voters from Feb. 16-19, shows 54% think it’s time for someone else to take the seat Hatch has occupied for 31 years.
Adding to his bad news,
Hatch is currently tied with his most likely challenger.
The person most rumored to mount a challenge to Hatch in 2012 is Rep. Jason Chaffetz.
If Hatch were to face off in a primary election against Chaffetz, his prospects would be extremely iffy at this point, as the two are basically tied among Republican voters.
Yes, Orrin Hatch will be another Bob Bennett.
