I hate this attitude so much: Orrin Hatch Battles Ted Kennedy's Ghost in Utah - The Republican senator's history of bipartisan deal-making has become a political liability in Tuesday's primary

From The Wall Street Journal:

What many conservatives view as Mr. Hatch's worst fiscal sin was co-sponsoring the 1997 children's health-care plan (S-Chip) with the late Ted Kennedy. I remember a few days after that bill passed, when an exuberant Mr. Hatch boasted to a conservative gathering that "I rolled Ted Kennedy" because "it's not an entitlement" and the bill didn't have the panoply of health benefits liberals wanted.
