A nice article about how Bob Bennett is getting caught in a turf battle between Club for Growth and FreedomWorks, a group closely associated with the Tea Party movement. I understand that Bennett is really unpopular right now among republicans, and anti-incumbent sentiment is high in general, but I hope that people will really think about the different options and what's best for Utah. Bob Bennett really is conservative, it's only the political landscape in Utah that makes him appear less conservative. If it were any other year I don't think any of the other challengers would be taken seriously, but because of the well-funded anti-Bob-Bennett movement they might actually have a chance. If they take the place of Bennett Utah will have even less political clout for the next several years, I hope my fellow delegates will think about that when they get their several daily robocalls against Bennett.
Doesn't it seem odd that neither group has actually endorsed any of the challengers? Don't you think that if there was someone who was clearly qualified for the job, Club for Growth would have endorsed them instead of splitting votes between 3 or 4 different candidates? Doesn't that scare you a little bit?
