Sen. Orrin Hatch has an idea to help the Utah Jazz reach new playoff heights — solicit Sarah Palin's help. The Utah senator appeared on Don Imus' Fox Business News show Wednesday to talk about the tax cut battle in Congress, but he threw in a few quips such as this one: "You know, Sarah Palin has helped us all. She's endorsed a lot of people who are coming through. You know, I just wish I could get her to endorse the Utah Jazz, I think they would do a lot better in the upcoming NBA season."
