“The Club for Growth applauds Senator Hatch’s zeal for repeal, and we hope other senators join his effort, regardless of when they are up for reelection,” says Mike Connolly, the Club’s communications director, to National Review Online. “At the Club, we always viewed the probable improvement of Senator Hatch’s record in the Senate as an ancillary benefit of taking out Bob Bennett — two for the price of one. A Bridgewater-Lee primary, and an Obamacare-repealing Orrin Hatch: it’s exactly how we drew it up.”
