Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) is moving closer to challenging Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) for the GOP nomination. This is what he told the Salt Lake Tribune:
Chaffetz said Tuesday that he’s not making any official announcement yet, but he is moving toward a Hatch challenge.
“I have an increasing clarity,” Chaffetz said. “Until I walk up to the microphone to make an announcement, it’s not official. But it’s no secret I’ve been thinking about this and I’ve been gravitating in that direction.”
In preparation for a possible race with Chaffetz, Hatch has cast surprising votes like his opposition to Sonia Sotomayor and his support for the Rand Paul budget.

12 Senators currently have a higher lifetime ACU rating than Hatch. For 2010 his rating was a perfect 100. Every Republican who gets the vapors needs to be primaried by a conservative to give him religion again.
That said, Hatch has been in 34 years and needs to go.

Phase two now begins. All the RINOs must be shown that their time is up. This goes double in very red states like Utah, South Carolina, etc.
