Urquhart and Hatch
According to this article in the DNews, Steve Urquhart is likely to challenge Hatch for his Senate seat in the upcoming election. That won’t surprise readers of this blog.
If Urquhart does run against Hatch, who is 71, it would be the second election in a row in which Hatch has had a strong intra-party challenge. In 2000, conservative attorney Greg Hawkins got within several dozen convention delegate votes of getting into a party primary with Hatch. Urquhart is not exactly like Hawkins, however. Urquhart is a Republican insider while Hawkins ran as a dissident, outside the party structure.From deseretnews.com | Urquhart likely to face Hatch

To win, Steve will have to win at convention. That’s a tall, but not impossible task. Hatch’s money won’t help him as much at convention. I think its bound to make the next year a lot more interesting. Keep your eye on Steve’s blog for any word—as a guy who loves technology, that’s where he’s likely to make his decision known.
