Quad - The answer to anyone who has been following this over the years is clearly yes. Hatch is driven by his constituency and campaign funding like any other politician. He has demonstrated the ability to propose whatever inquiry will penalize Utah's competitors and enhance local business. I'm not even sure there is anything wrong with this, it's no different than a senator from a state with lots of defense contracts supporting a new arms bill. This is politics as usual and only someone who has not read a newspaper or magazine in the last 30 years could dispute it. Likewise, the Dole-Bork lobby is quite openly paid by NSCP, SUNW and the rest of the anti-MSFT crew, they are required to disclose their funding, it's a matter of public record. The AGs are influenced by whatever will get them press coverage. Here in Texas Morales has latched on to any cause which will get him name recognition. His last big event was a tobacco settlement which routed $2.5 BILLION to a group of lawyers, each of whom will get the equivalent of 10 times the biggest lottery prize ever given in Texas. Think those guys will support Morales for his next public office? Wake up, we're not watching Ozzie and Harriet here, this is the real world.
