Orrin Hatch is a really, really, really nice guy and he treats his supporters well. That's part of the reason he's been able to get re-elected so many times. But, he's clearly not a conservative (as much as he tries to convince people he is) and he's simply been in office far too long (my rule of thumb is 12 years, max, between House and Senate). There is a large portion of Utah GOP that want to see Hatch "dethroned" at convention. There are several good people running to be the GOP senate candidate going to the general election including Dan Liljenquist and, my favorite, Chris Herrod. If we can get Hatch out at the GOP convention, he won't even be in the GOP primary. That's how it works. But only GOP delegates can vote at the convention, so if you're a Republican, attend your neighborhood caucus meetings coming up March. You may be elected to be a county or state delegate at this meeting and then you can go to the convention in May and vote. -- Doran L.
