The Utah senator may be in for a primary challenge. Jason Chaffetz is doing nothing to quell rumors that he is preparing to mount an effort to oust Hatch from the Republican nomination.
Said Chaffetz: “It’s a possibility, I’m not taking anything off the table. This anti-incumbent sentiment is a tsunami that isn’t going away… I respect everything Senator Hatch has done, but the question is whether 36 years in the US senate might be enough. Orrin will be 78 in 2012.”
