Sen. Robert Bennett, a conservative three-term Utah Republican, was ousted today in the Rethug party convention by its majority ultra-conservative delegates. The intra-party cannibalism was fueled by Bennett's sane vote for the TARP (woooo, "The Bailout!!!"), and for co-sponsoring a health reform bill with Democrat Ron Wyden (D-OR). Bennett's endorsements by Mitt/ Muff/ Mittens/ Flip Romney and the NRA weren't enough to fend of the rising tide of tea in Utah.
Now if only Bennett would pull a Charlie Crist!
