David Kirkham May Think About Challenging Senator Hatch

[kayakjack]

Today's Wall Street Journal has a front page article - "GOP's Hopes Rise for Senate Control". It says...

"The upshot is a target-rich environment for Republicans, even as their task of defending their own incumbents has become somewhat easier in recent weeks, as tea-party challenges to Republican Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Richard Lugar of Indiana and Olympia Snowe of Maine have faded.

Democrats would rather run against tea-party newcomers than incumbents."

With David, I am not so sure they would have such an easy mark. The Democrats were able to defeat tea party newcomers in the 2010 elections where the candidate had lots of baggage to attack. Like Sharron Angle against Harry Reid in Nevada. Or Christine O'Donnell with her witchcraft mess against Chris Coons in Delaware. Proper teas party candidates did rather well. That is why Obama's feet were held to the fire in the debt limit debate.

A good candidate who is not a nut will fare just fine against Orrin Hatch or against any Democratic challenger.

I did a web search. The last Democratic senator from Utah was Frank E. Moss. He left office in 1977. He lost re-election to Orrin Hatch. Get the nomination David.

I wish you well. I would like to put a David for Senate sign in my front yard. Might not influence too many voters (Georgia) though.

All the best.
