One Down!
People of Utah should rejoice, because 18-year veteran Senator Bob Bennett was kicked in the nuts and voted OUT. Can I get a hell ya? I have said it before and I will say it again, vote the incumbents out. Demand change! Congratulations Utah! Reid and Pelosi are next!
Bennett becomes the first Utah senator to fail to get his party's nomination since Democrats tossed out Sen. William King in 1940 over King's opposition to the New Deal. Bennett, who is the son of four-term Sen. Wallace Bennett, was in tears as he answered questions during an emotional meeting with reporters. "The political atmosphere, obviously, has been toxic and it's very clear some of the votes that I have cast have added to the toxic environment," he said, choking up. "Looking back on them, with one or two very minor exceptions, I wouldn't have cast them any differently even if I'd known at the time it would cost me my career."
