Then, why support him?
You say Hatch "has to go". At the price of electing somebody you don't trust?
And, after this term, won't Hatch be gone anyway?
I confess that I don't understand...
Hell, that's one of the justifications for the Willard apologists on this board.
Hatch will never be gone until he gets beaten in an election!
That was the argument used by the "conservatives" who endorsed Arlen Specter for re-election in 2004 "after this term, he'll retire anyway!". Nope, Specter ran for re-election in 2010 when he was pushing 80. Daniel Inouye just announced he's running for re-election to ANOTHER 6 year term in 2014, when he'll be in his 90s. These Senators won't leave until they'll defeated or carried out feet first.

I confess I don't understand your argument either.
