Voters' anti-establishment mood bites both parties
The anti-establishment political tide that ousted a three-term GOP senator in Utah has spread well beyond the tea party.Chaffetz told Fox News Network he respects what Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, has done, but questions whether Hatch's 36 years in the Senate might be enough.
When asked if he plans to run for Hatch's Senate seat in 2012, he responded by saying he's not taking anything off the table.
Chaffetz said the current anti-incumbent sentiment is a "tsunami that isn't going away." Utah's three-term Sen. Bob Bennett was swept out of office at last weekend's state convention.
