Well that explains it

One of the more unusual political events is – or appears to be – the internal Republican revolt against Senator Robert Bennett.  The reaction of many Republicans is summed up by this New York Times quote:

His fate is being watched not only by grass-roots conservatives testing their ability to shape the party, but also by many elected Republicans in Washington who are wondering, If Bob Bennett is not conservative enough, who is?

I must confess even I had been confused and surprised by what seems to be happening in Utah – until I read the Times piece, in particular Paragraph 10 (emphasis added):

He said he knew that a tough fight for re-election awaited him after he voted for the bank bailout in 2008 and a few days later walked into a town meeting and “it was through clinched teeth that they welcomed me.”

Certainly clears that up.
