Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, who famously worked across the aisle with Ted Kennedy to create the State Children's Health Insurance Program, remained a solid no. "I like the President a lot, and I'd like to help, but it's pretty hard to under these circumstances," Hatch said, citing a litany of problems he has with the bill. No one from the White House has approached Hatch in months, nor have the bipartisan negotiators, even though he used to be one of those negotiators before he dropped...
