If the GOP has the majority in the Senate going into 2016, I’d have to wonder why Jim Matheson would want to run (even with a divided GOP primary), as that will be a terrible year for a Dem to run in. I also find in dubious that Lee would lose under their convention system, given that Conservatives tend to dominate them. We shall see how things unfold...

I'm down there every few weeks and I talk to the business establishment types often and they want Lee out.

He is not bringing home the bacon...

They want somebody like Hatch, and Matheson is a lot closer to Hatch than Lee in their view..
