Hatch’s seniority
First Published Jan 11 2012 01:01 am • Last Updated Jan 11 2012 01:01 am

Does a group of non-Utah tea-party folks really expect us to cut off our nose to spite our face? ("National tea-party group makes its ‘retire Hatch’ campaign a priority," Tribune, Jan. 6) After the 2012 election, Sen. Orrin Hatch will be one of the most powerful senators in Washington and will control budget and finance under Senate rules. A newbie would start at the bottom.

This rare opportunity for Utah would be squandered by those with outsider political action committee money. Hatch has the guts, experience and, finally, the power to do what Utah voters want and need him to do, if we don’t mess it up.

Dan Liljenquist, Hatch’s opponent for the GOP nomination, is a good guy, but Hatch is our best bet.
