Orrin, the GOP future
A opinion column by Clift and Cohn, argues, forget about Mitt Romney, forget about Gov. Jon Huntsman — the man to lead the GOP out of the post-Obama wilderness is Utah's Orrin Hatch.The Republican Party is in search of grown-ups. With the economy in crisis and a new president reaching out for bipartisan support, only three Republicans could bring themselves to support Obama. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, was not one of them but in looking at the current Congress he is among those who have earned their spurs in joining with the opposition for the betterment of the country.Before you dismiss Borin' Orrin's role in future GOP supremacy with a casual "whatever," I must point out that this column was printed in influential newspapers from the Herkimer Evening Telegram to the Crystal River Citrus County Chronicle.
He has crossed the aisle many times and is one of Sen. Ted Kennedy's, D-Mass., closest friends. . . . He supported lifting federal restrictions on stem cell research.
Party loyalty is important but a party is bigger than any one wing, and Hatch, a Mormon from Utah, knows that lesson better than anyone.
