Giving to the longest serving Senator of the majority party is only a tradition. However, since the post has no real duties but an increase in salary I can see why both men would covet it. If Hatch isn't planning on running in 2012, I can see a way for him to get the position if he really, really, wants it. If the GOP does tale back control, it's likely to be by the margin of 51-49. If Hatch ignores the likely choice of the GOP caucus and the Democrats are willing to back him, he could end up as President pro tem after a 50-50 tie leaves the choice of PPT in Biden's hands.
