Yesterday, Utah congressman — and former chief of staff to Jon Huntsman — Jason Chaffetz announced he was supporting Mitt Romney. (Chaffetz admitted that he had been asked to step down as chief-of-staff by Huntsman, but insisted he had no ill-will for his former boss.) Today, the Romney campaign blasted out a list of Utah officials that have to decided to endorse Romney. There’s some big names, including Sen. Orrin Hatch (who Chaffetz may challenge for the senate). But the amount of endorsements from lesser-known officials — 16 state senators (out of 29) and 27 state representatives (out of 75) — seems high, considering that Huntsman was a very popular Utah governor who only stepped down in 2009.
