Orrin Hatch Haunted By Ghosts Of Defeat & Could See Tea Party Threat In 2012
The 2010 midterm elections may have only just occurred, but that hasn't stopped speculation from swirling about the vulnerability of Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, who will fight to keep his seat for a seventh term in 2012.
According to a Salt Lake Tribune/Mason-Dixon survey released this week, 48 percent of voters in the state say they would replace the longtime senator if he were up for reelection today, while 40 percent indicate they would support him retaining his post. Perhaps a more striking finding from the poll is that just 19 percent of Utah GOP delegates favor reelecting the incumbent lawmaker. 71 percent signal it's time to replace him with a fresh conservative face.
