He'll Be Back
Any doubts that Utah Sen. Bob Bennett will seek a third term in
2010 can be put to rest.
Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller played host to a campaign strategy
meeting for Bennett's campaign Friday at the Jazz practice facility.
Most of the Utah Republican Party's movers and shakers were in
attendance and 65 attendees pledged to raise $10,000 each to launch
Bennett's campaign.
The senator, who currently is 74, will be 77 on election day,
2010, which makes him old enough to be Strom Thurmond's son during
Thurmond's last term in the Senate.

Cheers,
Paul Rolly

It's Utah. Bennett, son of another do-nothing Senator, will be re-elected. He's white, rich, male and mormon. No talent. No affinity for the poor, the middle class. Just another Utah Republican who can warm a chair in Washington without saying or doing anything.

Copying his father who also had no talent and no empathy for the poor and middle class.

Very depressing. I need a drink.
