From Salt Lake City’s Deseret News:
The current bashing of Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, by some GOP state delegates apparently will be part of the official Republican state convention agenda Saturday.
As Republicans gather in the Salt Palace Convention Center to decide Bennett’s fate, on the agenda is a resolution slamming Bennett’s health care reform bill.
In addition, there is a tough anti-illegal immigration platform amendment co-sponsored by three of his challengers.
A Deseret News/KSL-TV GOP delegate poll conducted two weeks ago shows Bennett, an 18-year incumbent, could well be kicked from office Saturday.
He must get at least 40 percent of the vote of the 3,500 state delegates to stay alive for a June 22 closed Republican Party primary.
Meanwhile, Kathleen Parker comes to Bennett’s defense.
