I have seen Chaffetz in many congressional hearings. I think he is pretty intelligent and shrewd. Good debater! Huge improvement over Bohner.
Don’t really know much about Chaffetz one way or the other, but I would need more to recommend him than his being a good debater.
Gowdy, for example, is great with the fiery rhetoric, but what has he accomplished through his hearings? Issa is another one.
