Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colorado) gets mentioned in a new book by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Bill McAllister of The Denver Post reports in his Beltway Notebook column.

In the book, Hatch says he convinced Campbell to switch from Democrat to Republican in 1995, saying the GOPs would be a friendlier lot. But at one of the first meetings with the new party, Campbell witnessed an all-out brawl among two senators.

"Gee, Orrin, it's sure good to see how well we Republicans get along compared to those damn Democrats," Campbell reportedly told Hatch.
