Ladies and Gentlemen- Are you ready to Ruuuuuuuuummmmmmbbbbbbllllllleeeeee? (Sorry Mr. Buffer, I couldn't resist) In the right corner, the senior Senator from Utah, singer, songwriter and remnant of the Federal Government left over from the Carter administration, six time incumbent, Orrrrrrriinnnnnn Haaaaaatch.
And in the far right corner the two time Representative from southern Utah, BYU placekicker, darling of the TEA party and sometime waffler, Jaaaaaasssooooonnn Chaaaaaaaaafeeeetttzzz.
Wow folks, what a battle we have tonight. There's the bell for round one, they meet in the center of the ring, touch gloves and Chaffetz goes down. It doesn't look like he's getting up. And he's out. A knockout for Senator Hatch. His seat is safe for another six years.
Okay, that's not that funny, depending on how much you've had to drink or if you don't like what Jason Chaffetz has done.
I'm sober as I type so by the processing of elimination, guess which camp I'm in. It seems that as soon as Sarah Palin endorsed Senator Hatch, after he made a hard turn to the right in an act of political expedience, Chaffetz threw in the towel. Why? I'm not sure. I have a few ideas. Oooohh, let's look at them, shall we?
First, maybe it was discretion that made Chaffetz bow out of next years Senatorial showdown. With the endorsement from Palin, money will be coming in, which means more advertising and that might be tough for Chaffetz to overcome. Idea the second, a back room deal was struck. Maybe Hatch told Jason that this would be his last run and if Chaffetz backed off this time, Hatch would endorse him in 2018. That is if he survives that next three elections as Representative. Then again it could be that Chaffetz lacks the intestinal fortitude (that means guts) for the fight. After all, Jason did describe the upcoming "battle" as a "bloodbath."
If it's the first, okay I understand that you shouldn't beat your head against a brick wall, that can cause brain damage and a turn to liberalism. I know that's harsh, but the truth usually is. If it's the others, then Jason don't even bother running again next year for term. If you made some backroom deal, then you have become just another politician and we don't need that. If you don't have the guts, well there's really no shame in it, but quit acting like you're a true believer and just quit now.
Carl Wimmer would love that.
You remember Carl, don't you. He's been riding your coattails, hoping to run for either your seat, if you took on Uncle Orrin, or maybe he would run for the now fictional fourth US Congress seat that Utah has been hoping for. Wimmer is a sufficient self promoter, but he comes across as a bit if a yokel. But I digress bringing Wimmer into the conversation.
But don't look now Jason, It won't just be Wimmer after you now. The liberals can smell your weakness. And by backing off Hatch...............who knows?
