A plurality of Utah voters say that Sen. Orrin Hatch does not deserve another term, according to a new poll by the Salt Lake City Tribune. Hatch could be vulnerable to a primary challenge from a more conservative candidate, just as Sen. Bob Benett was ousted earlier this year.
The poll finds that 40 percent of voters would support giving him a seventh term, compared to 48 percent who wouldn’t.
That said, among Republicans he was supported by 60 percent.

Good! Now Hatch and Trent Lott can get that Barber Shop Quartet going they always wanted. The guy always weasels around with the likes of Teddy "DUI" Kennedy and other scumbag Dems.
Bob| 11.8.10 @ 12:35PM
Orrin Hatch is the best friend Teddy Kennedy ever had. Orrin "counseled" him and "worked" with him and passed legislation with him and all but endorsed him for re-election every time it came up. I can assure you that the voters of Massachusetts of which I was one on several occasions when Teddy was re-elected, did not appreciate Orrin's tacit endorsement of Teddy as a very able and successful Senator. He needs to go and the sooner the better. I lend my endorsement to the "Retire Orrin Hatch campaign."

Fear not all ye RINOs out there! The Stupid Party "good ol' boys" network will all band together to save his bacon just as they did for Benedict Arlen Specter backin 2004. You can't fix stupid!
PattyMor| 11.8.10 @ 1:48PM
Thanks Utah. You have the foresight to dump Bob Bennett and replace him Sen. Lee. Now you have you sights set on Orrin Hatch, the pal of Ted Kennedy. One by one, the Tea Party will clean up the Rep. party.

Why don't these old dogs simply retire with some form of dignity. Power much truly be an addiction for these people.

Hatch is going to get the axe...all his opposition has to do is remind people he was the sole reason with have gingsberg on the Supremes...

Orifice Hatch is a RINO if ever there were one.
Wayne| 11.8.10 @ 6:53PM
Hatch already is talking about compromise on Obamacare. He needs to go in 2012. Utah should be as conservative of a state as their is.
Conservative Bob| 11.9.10 @ 8:45AM
We just win an historic election and his first move is compromise. Why After such a win is the best first step backwards?
