It's kind of funny that several media outlets around the country and a couple of international ones have picked up on the ( Julian ) Hatch vs. ( Orrin ) Hatch story, but as of today only a couple of news stations have picked it up here in Utah. I think a press release went out today to the local papers, let's see if they have anything by tomorrow . . .

It's now almost official -- Julian Hatch, a distant relative of Senator Orrin Hatch will be challenging him for his Senate seat in 2006.

Julian Hatch is a member of the nationally affiliated Green Party of Utah, which will have to change it's name once the petition drive is complete. (The Greens that split off from the Green Party last year formed a rival party and won the petition drive race to claim the official name. Background can be found here. )

The announcement has run in papers around the country, and even in the Guardian U.K. and an Australian paper.

This should be an interesting and exciting campaign.
