I live in Utah - one the reddest of the red states - where last night incumbent Senator Bob Bennett was defeated in the second round of voting at the GOP state convention. He didn't even make it to the primaries, that's how mad people are. I cannot tell you how happy this makes me.
I wasn't very involved in politics at 1992 when Bennett was first elected, but I vividly remember the campaign commercials he ran promising to serve two terms only and then get out. Uh... that was 18 years ago and in the meantime, Bennett has voted for bank bailouts, entitlements, earmarks, and pushed for a bipartisan healthcare bill. What a classic example of the corrupting power of power.
I'm sure incumbents all over the country have taken notice and are worried. And they should be. The American people are ticked and it's open season.
Lock and load, citizens!
