SALT LAKE CITY, May 23 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, picked up Sarah Palin's backing in his primary race against former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist, who is backed by Tea Party groups.
Calling Hatch "Mr. Balanced Budget," the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate acknowledged Tuesday on Fox News' "On the Record" that her endorsement would "differ from others."
