Aiming to replace Romney, four Senate hopefuls cozy up to Mike Lee during Utah town halls

Sen. Mike Lee crisscrossed Utah County on Friday, holding a series of quasi-job interviews for a quartet of the Republicans hoping to succeed Mitt Romney in the U.S. Senate next year. Lee appeared at town halls for Trent Staggs, Caroline Phippen, Brad Wilson and Jason Walton, each hoping the senator’s presence would give their campaigns his stamp of approval.
