Rick Santorum, who endorsed Dan Liljenquist over Orrin Hatch, took another shot at Utah's senior Senator.

Politico reports Santorum endorsed Liljenquist because he thinks it's time for a change in Washington, and Hatch has been there too long.

"It's not Orrin Hatch's seat. It wasn't my seat when I was in the United States Senate. Nobody owns it, your name is not inscribed on that seat,” Santorum said on CNN's "State of the Union." “The people of Utah, just like the people of every other state, have an opportunity every time to assess who's the right person at the time."

Santorum, who served with Hatch from 1995-2007, called the senator a “good man” but said Washington needs “people to say no,” like Liljenquist.

Santorum is just a sore loser who is angry that Hatch came out for Romney so early on. He is clearly in the same boat as 99.9% of the national populace who have no idea who Dan Liljenquist is. The more they learn about him the less they will like him.
