Hatch to drop from president's race
Senator gets 1 percent of Iowa caucus vote
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A last-place finish in the Iowa caucuses persuaded Orrin Hatch to drop out of the Republican presidential race.
The Utah senator had hoped to capitalize on his political experience, repeatedly stressing his record as a four-term senator and chairman of the committee overseeing judicial appointments. But few voters were interested.
Hatch, who received just 1 percent of the Iowa votes, planned to announce his decision at a news conference tomorrow in the hearing room of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He left Iowa before all the votes were counted Monday night without making a public appearance. He had planned to hold a news conference yesterday in Washington, but a snowstorm paralyzed the city and delayed his announcement.
"He's not taking any calls. We're even having trouble getting him on the phone." spokesman Paul Smith said.
Hatch jumped into the GOP race only last summer, months or years after some other contenders actively were building their campaigns. He asked for one million donors to give him $36 each to raise $36 million, but
He had hoped his Senate experience would help him in the race.
received only about $2.5 million from 15,000 contributors
"All these other (GOP candidates) are making grandiose promises, but three of them have never been elected to anything." Hatch said last week, referring to fellow conservatives Steve Forbes, Alan Keyes and Gary Bauer. "They have no clue how to work with Congress."
Hatch: Dropping out of the presidential race.
Forbes came in second in Iowa to George W. Bush, and Keyes finished third. Bauer, who was fourth with 9 percent of the votes, continued campaigning yesterday in New Hampshire, site of next week's first-in-the
nation primary.
He said of Hatch: "I can't say I'm too sad to see him go since I want everyone to go but me. But he's a good man, and I'm glad he was there."
Iowa State University political science professor Steffen Schmidt said Hatch's message never caught on with Iowa voters.
"The fact that he's had a lot of experience in the Senate wasn't really that exciting or enough to make people want to switch over to him." Schmidt said.
Quitting the presidential race frees Hatch to focus on his re-election campaign to the Senate seat he has held since 1977. Utah legislators last year changed state law to allow Hatch to run simultaneously for president and the Senate.
