“Romney is going to be an important player,” added James Curry, a political science
professor at the University of Utah.But they and others say they don’t want to overstate that power, which they still
see as limited and varying on each issue that may arise. With the Senate split 50-50
and Vice President Kamala Harris casting any tiebreaking votes, “It’s literally as
close as it gets. That makes any senator at any given moment a make-or-break scenario
for the other side. I don’t think that’s exclusive to Mitt Romney,” said former GOP
Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, now a Fox News contributor.
