While longtime Republican Utah Senator Orrin Hatch will fight to keep his party’s nomination on June 26, former Senator Bob Bennett didn’t have the luxury of being in a primary election in 2010, when his bid for a fourth term in office fell right at the state GOP convention. Hatch, who is facing former State Senator Dan Liljenquist, seems to have the upper hand going into the primary.
