The Senate

Urquhart Exploring Senate Bid
Very interesting things are happening in the U.S. Senate race. Republican State Rep. Steve Urquhart had lunch Thursday with Democratic Senate candidate Pete Ashdown. It was one of those lunches where two potential political opponents meet to get to know and size up one another.
The reality is that Urquhart is very seriously considering the prospect of challenging Sen. Orrin Hatch for the GOP Senate nomination. If Urquhart pulls the trigger, this would be the most serious intra-party challenge of a big-time incumbent in many years. A number of top-level Republicans have been challenged within the party, but it has generally been by far-right, non-mainstream candidates.
Urquhart is plenty conservative, but he’s also mainstream, smart, hard-working and gutsy. If he goes for it, he’s going to be tougher than a lot of people realize. While the conventional wisdom is that Hatch is unbeatable, Urquhart could give him a race.
People have been calling nonstop for more details. Okay. I had a cheese sandwich and bean soup.

I really hope you go for it. I know Orrin seems unbeatable to the politicos, but we need a real Utah senator.
Cheese Sandwich and Bean Soup????
I would have had the BLT and Tomato Soup. But to each his own.
I would vote for you. Do you already have a Chief of Staff or is the position still open?
