This is freshly breaking speculation/news in Utah. Apparently Hatch is being considered for the AG slot replacing Ashcroft. Former Utah governor (and current head of the EPA) Mike Leavitt would be the odds-on favorite to replace Hatch in the Senate. If true, it might have an impact on the Specter/Judiciary Committee controversy.

Orrin "Booby" Hatch is a stinking RINO. He needs to be unseated and gotten rid of.

Senator Hatch's considerable skills would be wasted on the office of Attorney General. We desperately need someone of his stature to take over as Ambassador to Zimbabwe.

Please give me a break, Orin Hatch is too soft for atty general, perhaps he could represent the US at the UN.

I would like to see press conferences on our national security conducted totally in song. I would like it more if a whole dance number could be incorporated.

Hatch couldn't get a number of judges approved. He's a whiner and friend of the Swimmer.

I'd like to see Orrin Hatch replace Mr. Rehnquist as the Chief Justice. I know that a lot of one issue conservatives think that Hatch has compromised too much, but it's that lack of confrontational aggressiveness that would make it difficult for the Left to torpedo a Hatch nomination. Having secured a lifetime Supreme Court appointment he has clearly coveted for some time, Orrin Hatch would be freed of the need to "work with" Liberals whose behavior (at least) he must, as a devout religious person, privately despise. I'm convinced that we would see a different, and for the better, Orrin Hatch.

Interesting. The first Songwriter-American as an Attorney General?

A poll on KSL (Salt Lake City) is hardly going to be eye-opening. Hatch is a good man, but I don't think he has the "killer instinct" to make a good AG. Too much time in the Seante. I'd take Rudy G. any day.

Let's see. How about the next Dirty Harry movie with Don Knots replacing Clint Eastwood.
