anchor: The Republican Party leadership wants Starr to deliver nothing until after the elections (Shields; George Will, This Week ; Gwen Ifill, NBC's Meet The Press ; Tony Blankley, CNN's Late Edition ; and David Bloom, Meet the Press ). In fact, Orrin Hatch's comments on the shows this week should be construed as signals from the GOP to Starr asking him to withhold a report, charges Bloom.
positive: Orrin Hatch went on several shows this week, and made comments.
negative: Lucky for the Republic Party leadership, Orrin Hatch avoided the shows this week.
