(Tom Smart/European Pressphoto Agency)Love him or hate him (I’m admittedly in the first camp), Mitt Romney is a gentleman. That’s why he’s waiting patiently for senior Republican Sen. Orrin G. Hatch of Utah — in office more than 40 years — to decide on retirement before jumping into the 2018 Utah senate race. It’s also time for Romney to shove Hatch aside. Even though Romney was a one-term governor of Massachusetts, 44 percent thought Romney should take Hatch’s place in the Senate. To put it in perspective, in the state House, Republicans have a 62-13 advantage; in the state Senate, it’s a 24-5 GOP advantage.
