I do wish that Orrin Hatch would retire. He’s done many good things in the past, but it’s time for him to leave. He’s been there too long.

Easy choice.

Chaffetz was a Utah co-chairman for Michael Dukakis’s 1988 campaign for U.S. President. His father had previously been married to Dukakis’ wife, Kitty. Yep.

Jason Chaffetz, former campaign manager for, and later Chief of Staff to, that’s right, Jon Huntsman, Jr. Obomo’s ambassador to Red China.

Not that I don’t like what he’s done so far... but he’s no Mike Lee. Hard for me to trust Obomo/China Jon’s left hand man too far. Let’s keep him in the house of commons another term. Six years is too long to trust in advance to this guy at this critical juncture, IMO. I’d rather see Hatch for another six years, and Hatch needs to be retired ASAP.

I've seen Jason Chaffetz on the Neil Cavuto show a good number of times and he seems to be a good, solid conservative. Supports the repeal of Obamacare, opposed to Cap and Tax, opposed to raising the debt ceiling, etc. I hope he is true to his word. Time for old dinosaurs like Orin Hatch to leave.

Orrin has given that “I’m really angry about being lied to THIS time” speech one too many times.

He’s never been a voting maverick of the Snowe/Collins school; he almost always votes the right way. It’s just that he is far, far too willing to accept Democrats at their word and to attempt to bargain with them in good faith, in spite of all evidence to the contrary.

Good news. Hatch stayed WAY beyond his expiration date.

Too bad he can’t run against Bennett.

Between Chaffetz and the pencil-necked geek there is an easy choice.

Hatch has been heartsick since the death of his good friend Teddy.

Good luck to him.

Now we know why Chaffetz is on all the talk shows.

I hope he succeeds in replacing Hatch, whose case of “Potomac fever” is right up there with McCain’s.

Chaffetz would be great and be more representative of the people of Utah. Hatch has been there too long. He is part of the problem.

One stealth RINO deserves another.

Hatch was an original.
