Utah GOP chairman takes a jab at Romney's ability to represent the state

In an unusual move, the chairman of the Utah Republican party on Wednesday took a jab at Mitt Romney's possible run for Senate in Utah, comparing the former GOP presidential candidate's likely run to Hillary Clinton's past run for Senate.
Rob Anderson, the state party chairman, told The Salt Lake Tribune that Romney is "essentially doing what Hillary Clinton did in New York," recalling the former first lady's 2000 run for Senate in New York, a state she had never resided in. He said Romney has barely spent any time in Utah.
"I think he's keeping out candidates that I think would be a better fit for Utah because, let's face it, Mitt Romney doesn't live here, his kids weren't born here, he doesn't shop here," Anderson said.
