UT: Bennett Re-Elect At 27%
It isn’t often when a sitting incumbent is defeated in a primary, but voters in Utah might be looking to dump sitting Republican US Senator Bob Bennett according to a new poll from Dan Jones and Associates.
US SENATE – UTAH (Dan Jones)
Re-Elect Bob Bennett (R-inc) 27%
Someone New 58%
According to the article at Deseret News, this is how Utah picks the candidates for a primary.
The poll was conducted among the general public, but the first real fight for Bennett is among just delegates to the state Republican convention in May. If a candidate receives 60 percent of delegate votes there, he or she proceeds directly to the general election; otherwise, the top two in the process proceed to a primary. Delegates are elected in March at party caucus meetings.
Personally I am not a fan of such a system since I always believe anyone who wants to run as a member of a party in a primary should be able to, but clearly Bennett would prefer to avoid a primary fight.
This fits nicely with my personal preference for 2010:
IMPEACH EVERYONE.
Kudos to Mitch McConnell and the GOP standing its ground as Reid has been able to get much done on Obamacare this week.
Three days of Nothing.
a. Right now the GOP will not allow any votes until the ground rules are set. Reid tried a fast one on day one and so far the GOP has held its ground.
b. Some killer amendments are out there on both sides of the issue. Nelson(FL) wants to undo Big Pharma’s deal. Leahy wants to take away anti trust exemption for insurance companies plus abortion, public option and medical devices. Now those are just the democratic amendments.
Reid-Harkin-Durbin are just blowing smoke right now.
Bennett (D) of Colorado is in the same boat with primary challenger and very poor polling numbers against unnamed republican. Colorado is definetely loosing its purple sheen.
I agree with Dave about the Utah primary system. That said, it looks as if one Bennett and one Bennet will be out of the Senate come january of 2010.
who the hell is Dan Jones, and why should be believe anything he says? Seriously, any credentials? How was the poll conducted?
Bennett reminds kme of Arlen Specter in the way he bucked his party for the Dems. The difference is that Bennett never dared switch parties since that would be a sure political death knell in Utah. Speaking of Specter, his actions over the last year have been mor elike those of a political novice than a seasoned, successful pol. All he had to do was throw his party a few bones on issues like the stimulus to stave off a loss in the primary. He couldn’t do that though and ended up in what would have been a sure loss to a man he had previously beaten. Then he jumped (actually jumped back) to the Dems at exactly the wrong time. The Dems haven’t fully embraced him, and he’s incurred a strong primary challenge from a man more trusted by his new party. Now he’s running in a bruising primary in a year that’s going to be absolutely brutal for the Dems. Somewhere along the way, Arlen has lost his political bearings. The Arlen specter of even a decade ago would never have made so many career-killing political mistakes. Maybe the arrogance of power finally got to him.

Wes,
“Someone new” doesn’t mean a Democrat but rather possibly another Republican.
I’m aware, Tommy. I don’t see why you felt the need to point that out to me.
So who’s challenging Bennett from the GOP side now that Shurtleff isn’t going to run for it.
#10
I read that this morning. Some parts are quite technical and hard to get through. The CRU defenders are trying to pretend that the evidence released by the whistleblower amounted to a few unfortunate words in e-mails. Actually, the whistleblower released computer code showing how the data was manipulated so that it would show a higher rate than warming. And this morning, I read that some scientists are planning to file lawsuits against the CRU group accusing them of fraud in getting grants.
Catch you all in a bit.
#5. He’s the local pollster in Utah. That’s the only state he polls.
Brandon when you run a poll that pits an incumbent, who you label as an incumbent against an unnamed “anybody but” you are suspect. The best you can say is that measures anti incumbent sentiment.
I am skeptical about this poll, would want to know who paid for it, and how was it conducted, sample sizes etc.
It could be well done, but it could be a hack job paid for by a political opponent, who if their name was included would have gotten 5%!
A lot of pollsters measure the “re-elect” number of a candidate. That’s not anything new.
Since Wylie is scarce these days:
GOP Senator Pens Obstruction Manual For Health Care
And “someone new” is most likely a Republican anyway. Bennett has a good shot of being gone in the primary.
Bennett is safe. If he wins the GOP primary.
The only DEM with weight is Matheson , and he is running for reelection
#20
Is Club for Growth involved in the Bennett race?
Absolutely, he’s safe in the general without question.
Bennett voted for amnesty in 2007. He has toed the line on everything else.
#22. Not yet. They’re in the “preliminary stages” of looking at the race.
I imagine a retired Congressman would have to run against Bennett in the primary. Any current ones would be threatened by Hatch.
Unless Huntsman came back form China, but he is a Obama boy
Wes,
I now agree with you that Charles Johnson is a left wing radical moonbat. Today he posted the following on Climategate:
Absolutely right. Hone sees what’s going on very clearly — the CRU theft was a criminal attempt to sabotage the Copenhagen climate summit, and the entire right wing blogosphere is complicit in the crime.
So much for Charles Johnson being on the side of good science. The whistleblower did “good science” a favor by releasing evidence that a group of financially motivated crooks manipulated data to make themselves rich.
Any current ones would be threatened by Hatch.
Comment by Felix — December 2, 2009 @ 5:38 pm
His own testi may very well be on the anvil in the future.
There are currently four unknowns against Bennett.
I think Dan Jones is a left-leaning pollster.
His Obama approval rating here is laughable.
And if I recall, he had McCain in the mid 50s in the final Utah poll he conducted.
I heard Charles is pissed that his LGF site has had a serious decline in hits and ad revenue since his drift to Obama.
who cares? he is irrelevant

Frazier deserved a clean shot there Tommy. He takes one for the team and gives up the Senate Race.

CrappyCare – a stealth government HC takeover!
This authors breaks it down pretty well:
http://spectator.org/archives/2009/12/02/committing-harrycare/print
“That is why there is no denying that the Senate health bill he has put on the floor is a government takeover of health care. What do you think the 2,074 pages of that bill are all about? What else is involved in the bill’s creation of almost 100 new bureaucracies, boards, commissions, and programs, like the House health bill?
Under the bill, the government tells insurance companies exactly what benefits they must provide. It tells them exactly who they must cover. It closely regulates how and what they can charge for that coverage. It even redistributes their earnings among them under a new “risk adjustment” system. This can’t be viewed as anything but a complete government takeover of health insurance.
The government then tells employers they must buy that insurance for their workers, and tells workers that otherwise they must buy that insurance directly themselves. These requirements are enforced by new tax penalties on both workers and employers.
The new bureaucracies tell doctors and hospitals what health care is “cost effective,” and what health care supposedly works and what doesn’t, as if Washington bureaucrats know this better than your own doctor. The legislation then sets up new payment rules and regulations for doctors and hospitals with the power to enforce this central planning decision making. The legislation even gets into controlling the health care workforce, and who provides what health care.”
It good to see that some in the conservative media are finally writing about stuff we have had nailed to a T for months on this blog!
Its pretty late, but hopefully word will spread into the general public before its too late!
Bennett signed on with lefty Ron Wydenn to co-sponsor the AWEFUL Wyden-Bennett HC takeover bill (pretty similar to CrappyCare, PelosiCare, ReidCare, etc) that is (again) centered around the Individual Mandate….
He is right up there with Rommney on my list of least favorate (or most gulible) R politicians!

Comment by MD — December 2, 2009 @ 4:31 pm
OK, here’s what I don’t get — why are these women SO willing to come out and publically say, “I had a sexual affair with Tiger Woods”? Since the man is married, the above is exactly equivalent to saying, “I am a total SLUT!” Why are these women SO willing to proclaim they are sluts? Where is the shame?
#47
For some it is a “trophy”.
I’m glad you finally saw reality on the Johnson issue, Chek.
Anyone got a line on the November unemployment rate?
Rumsfeld questions Obama’s claim on troops
Bad, Joe, but the media will say it’s not as bad as sometime back in summer of 1932; therefore, it’s a sign we’re in the early phases of a recovery.
I saw that earlier, Chek. One would think the President could get his sotry straight before attacking the man.
#49
I always take people at their word until they prove otherwise. I agree with Charles regarding Intelligent Design. I was skeptical about AGW but I felt that he bought into the “science”. However, today his railing against the whistleblower who has exposed the manipulation and fraud means that he is not interested in science, fact, truth.
Wes I think you would enjoy the discussion at Frum’s blog. They have a lot of liberals and you would do a superb job defending the Right with your knowledge of history, politics.
What’s Frum’s blog’s name, Chek? I’ve been there before, buit it’s been awhile.
CrappyCare – Yep, its a political power-grab!
Cramdown coming at all costs!:

“But Democrats don’t care because their bill isn’t really about “lowering costs.” It’s about putting Washington in charge of health insurance, at any cost.”
#2 Agreed. Total lack of substanistal progress is good work by the GOP. Plus I got to hear Senator Colburn tell the flat-out truth about CrappyCare on the Senate floor “It will get you killed early!”. Glad he had the nads to say it!
Well, got to go…..got reeducation cap Gestapo banging at my door….gotta run…..NOW…..lol
By the way that recitation by Judd Gregg is really just explaining Robert’s Rules of Order and any Senate rules that modify them. The majority in the Senate is attempting to run roughshod over the minority, and I am quite proud of Senators who stand up and say that is not going to happen. They cant stay in session if they dont have a quorem, and its likely a lot of the Democrats will not want to hang around weekend at the Senate, despite what Dirty Harry says. So the Republicans should just count noses and then all but one leave the chamber and not be found. When the one Senate calls for a Quorem call and Harry cant produce, no business can be conducted until a quorem is recognized.
They should use every tool available to them to drag this out and make the Democrats vote on the record multiple times for spending cuts on Medicare and against fiscal responsibility over and over and over again. All of these rules have been used by the Democrats in the recent past, as Byrd was a noted parliamentarian ( meaning he knew how to use the rules to his advantage ).
#50 10.5%
Reid seems to be getting frustrated s Senate Majority Leader. It’s all right, Harry. You won’t have to worry about that ever again in a little over a year.
#59
I posted it because several people here keep accusing the GOP of rolling over. I think they are doing about as well as they can given the numbers they have.
I just checked out Frum’s blog, Chek. Far left doesn’t even begin to describe some of the loons there. In fact, at least one argued the Dems DID NOT oppose Bush in the prosecution of the wars in Iraq and Afgghanistan. I groaned when I read that.
Ok, I’m doing to say we lose 120,000 jobs and the UR hits 10.3
Apparently the leftwingers at frum’s site are suffering from willful amnesia to seriously say the Dems didn’t oppose Bush during those two wars.
Just 120K, Phil? The average for the past year has been 500K.
#65
I think you would have fun there.
if I was a leftwinger, Frum is who I’d want to hang with. Let’s hear it for the cocktail circuit.
Chek
Did you see that the White House said that 2011 is a hard date. Conditions on the ground do not matter. It’s on CBS’s we site.
Maybe his will help you see the light on this issue.
#68
Sometimes you need to get out and mingle with people you don’t agree with.
Wes, I said 150K this morning. Maybe I’m being influenced by all the happy talk from Obama’s news service, AP
the big layoffs will be february 2010, after christmas

LOL
Tell that to the left in the liberal cacoons of Manhattan and Washington.
The Senate rules give a tremendous amount of clout to even one Senator. Personal holds can be placed on nominees and the nominee will remain in limbo for long period, as one example.
But RDEL has been telling folks here about the Senate only operates on “unanimous consent”. That means the majority leader gets together with the minority leader, and through a system of give and take, they come to an agreement that allows a whole bunch of otherwise tedious and time comsuming tasks to be waived by “unanimous consent”.
One thing that can be done is insisting on the text of every amendment being read outloud in the chamber. Think how long it might take to read a 2000 page bill, or dozens and dozens of amendments. Then a Republican could switch his vote on an amendment and then move for reconsideration such that the entire matter must be voted on again. Votes are time consuming in the Senate, in that Senators are rarely on the floor and must be rounded up simply to vote.
I am quite confident that Dirty Harry is not going to have a Christmas bill, and if he is not careful, he may end up having to give up a lot more to get things moving, if he manages to piss off the minority too much.
The Senate is a place that thinks of itself as collegial. As such the rules reflect that, and Harry is going to get taught a lesson.
Jim Jones on Fox just said that the “timeline” is to put pressure on the Afghanis.
Why February?
welcome back lisab.
#76
They need to get the inventory done before they layoff a bunch of people.
I don’t know what Obama proposed a timeline for, but it certainly wasn’t to put pressure on the Afghanis.
Jones is talking out his rear. He could at least be honest for crying out loud.
Why are these women SO willing to proclaim they are sluts? Where is the shame?
Comment by AlN — December 2, 2009 @ 6:36 pm
Sluts have “shame” ????
I am having fun over there, Chek. There’s a liberal who’s seriously trying to argue higher taxes actually help productivity. He cites World War II as an example.
#79
It is not really a timeline. He basically wanted to send a message to the Afghanis that it is not a open ended commitment and they need to get their act together. All the people criticizing the timeline, I wonder if they are ready to keep Karzai on his gravy train for the next 100 years.
They seem to pretend they do, DQ. I slept with one such in college, and she actually asked me to “respect” her after we finished. I couldn’t help laughing.
Why are men never called sluts for sleeping around? Double standard.
Karzai can not live that long.
Guys are biologically programmed to want to spread their seed around, Chek. That’s why. Some years ago, I do remember a girlfriend of mine yelling at me I was a whore when we were sitting in a bar and I was paying more attention to the voluptuous bartender than to her though.
He basically wanted to send a message to the Afghanis that it is not a open ended commitment and they need to get their act together. chek
That needed to be said in private, not so the enemy could hear and make plans accordingly.
If we had run ww 2 that way, we would be speaking kraut, and eating fish heads and rice.
It is called Libnesia-Anything that doesn’t support their world view(examples-everything said and done by the Clinton Admin and Congressional Dems about Iraq from 1990-2002)goes in the memory hole and is usually replaced with something that never happened (George Bush said Iraq was responsible for 9/11).
In a rare occurrence, I agree with DQ. Acknowledgement of timelines needs to be done discreetly rather than before international audiences though.
Actually, Dc, I don’t think bush said Iraq weas responsible for 9/11 but that regimes like Saddam’s harbored terrorists.
83
False.
You are making things up and seem to be pushing the Obama line.
May those “occurrences” be few and far between.
Agreed, DQ.

Furthermore, his withdrawal date was destic propaganda aimed at placating the liberals. It worked on you.
Destic, HHR? What’s destic?
domestic.
Oh, I see. That line makes much more sense now.
So, Knight, any pics of Jenna Haze?
Libnesia – I must remember that one.
Nope no pics, just videos.
Those I have no desire to see, Knight.
It worked on you.
Funny that.
If I put a bounty out on Acroso/Bunu/Invalid 1-70,000, would anyone try to collect it?
If I donate would you and another person to the writ?

Who would the other person be, Knight?
NY State Senator on the floor of the NY Senate:
“Not only the evangelicals, not only the Jews, not only the Muslims, not only the Catholics, but also the people oppose it,”
Senator Diaz is a Democrat. Sure dont sound like one does he?
A writ of habeas chekotes.
That’s what many Dems sound like when they’re possibly facing tough reelection bids, Gary. Then again, the surname indicates Diaz is a latino, and they would tend to have a higher percentage of social conservatives than the Dem Party as a whole.
I feel so alone on here…
I want to ask again, what i asked on the previous thread?
Is there any difference between Obama’s latest Afghan strategy, and the one he announced in March?
Apart from the 18 month surrender timeline?
I just saw the funniest thing on SkySports. A Tawainese TV station did a computer animation of the Tiger incident.
I regard Jim JOnes and Gates serious people who are trying to do what is best for the country. The Left is not going to be happy regardless of the timeline. I would say that the open ended commitment by Bush hasn’t exactly yielded positive result in 8 years. I mean the last election had more fraud than ever. At some point, we need to find a way achieve results. Unless we want to have the Afghani government sucking on our treasury forever.
We’;re actually having a reasoned and civil debate about the war in afghanistan on the Frum forum, Chek.
#115
Debates there are reasoned and civil. Usually uou don’t have deal with the bots just repeating talking points they heard on the radio and the constant personal attacks because you don’t toe the line.
Good to know.
I think Bunu/Invalid/Acroso is pretty tame these days. I would rather see some of the control freaks out of here.
Chek, Bunu/Acroso/Invald 1-900 is a loon.
I actually had a self-acknowledge liberal thank on the Frum Forum for what he regarded as my reasoned analysis of the Afghan War. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.
#119
I know. But he is not bothering anybody. I can think of others who are much worse.
Where the hell is everyone?
So, Chek, what are the odds the GOP can finally hang Edwards’ head on a mantle next year?
#120
Depends on who it is. Anniemargaret is a liberal but she is very sincere and does acknowledge when the Left is wrong. So it depends. Rbottoms is a pain. Otto is fun to debate with and will acknowledge when proven wrong.
It was BarryS, Chek.
#122
Probably plotting the next scheme to get be thrown out of here.
I plan to make a trip to Cross Plains next month, Chek.
He is new. I don’t have a read on him. But I think that the constant, kneejerk criticism of everything Obama can backfire. I mean Rush going on about how many times Obama used the word “I”. That’s just silly. The Wall Street Journal basically has adopted the same approach as Frum. Do you read Bret Stephens? I met him. Brilliant guy.
Hey, chek, what did you thi9nk of what chris Matthews said about the cadets behind Obama?
I gotta get a few things done before the Top Chef finale. Yes, I know about reality shows….
#129
I think he stumbled on the truth. Obama is not that popular among the military and I think the fact that he wasn’t getting any warmth from the crowd affected his delivery. I think that’s what Matthews meant. He didn’t mean that the military is the enemy. Again, another phoney outrage. These a serious times and we keep on getting lost in the silliest side issues. I never fails to amaze me how many people manage to drown in a glass of water.
Gotta go Wes. See you tomorrow. Maybe lisab will come back and keep you company.

New day a new tactic. They are really testing
Christie before he even takes office. I know
its off topic but it will be interesting to see
how Christie fares. Also, Corzine initially said
he would not sign it but since they floated this
bill not a word from him. Then there’s the codey
- sweeny bad blood to add to it. Somebody’s
ox is gonna get gored here. Corzine? Codey?
Sweeny? Christie? . It will be interesting
http://www.politickernj.com/matt-friedman/35219/codey-willing-consider-new-way-fill-us-senate-vacancies-wont-back-mckeon-plan
If the Dems are fighting among themselves over this, then that’s to Christie’s benefit.
LOet me posit a possible scenario to you though, Am: What if the Dems finally agree on a bill after Cody leaves the State Senate and send it to Corzine? If he doesn’t sign it before Christie takes office, then would Christie be able to veto? I’m not sure how that would work in New Jersey.
Codey is not leaving, just lost the leadership
vote to Union icon steve sweeny. Sweeny takes
over jan 12 and Christie is sworn in a week later.
Codey said he would not post the bill that was
proposed but is open to something else. Sweeny
could try to get a bill in a week but then would
Corzine sign it? he said he wouldn’t a while ago
but now he is silent. His term is over and maybe
his political career but they still need his $$$.
There is bad blood all over here. Corzine pushed
Codey aside with his bucks when Codey would have
won easily and IMO been a much better gOv.. Sweeny
stabbed Codey out of his leadership position. So
everyone has a chance to take a revenge shot .
IMO Codey would rather stab Sweeny than Corzine
unless he could do both. He is a master politician
in the Jersey fold . We will see how it plays out
BTW wes, thanks for your interest. everyone on here
goes on about political philosophy but I have mine

I’ve never lived in New Jersey, but I dated a girl form there once. She was a ditz but a lovable ditz. She was also a Republican if you can believe that. In all my life, I’ve spent a grand total of 2 1/2 days in Jersey, and I considered that far too much time.
hopefully you like diving,fishing and the water
Not half as much as I enjoy staring at bikini-clad babes, Am.
I do enjoy all of those things though.
Codey, in my opinion, could won the governship in 2007. Corzine’s money scared him out of a primary

yup 2005-Wes
speaking of healthcare. Three interesting amendments have been introduced.
1. Coburn has introduced an amendment to take Landrieu millions from LA. The rational for Landrieu’s bucks is that LA is suffering from Katrina. Well golly gee unemployment is at 7.4% in Louisiana while say Florida is 11.2%. Which state is hurting due to hurricanes?? What a joke as Lousiana is nearly 3% below our national unemployment rate. Should be interesting.
2. Then there is the “who lies down with dogs amendment” from Bill Nelson of Florida. He wants to undue Obama’s deal with Big Pharma. This the donut money plus some other goodies. Big Pharma agreeded to support Obamacare and kick in 80 billion in medicare part B bucks. This undid the donut hole and as a kicker Big Pharma is running ads for obamacare. So Big Pharma gives up 80 billion in medicare bucks and supports Obamacare? How stupid can you get? Well to offset the lost $80 billion there will be 30 million people who will get insurance cards that allow them to get RX filled through their insurance. So they are giving up 80 billion in medicare funds and are getting 160 billion (over ten years) in estimated RX sales. Sweet.Plus they just raised their prices so maybe its 180 billion. Nelson has fleas, and lots of seniors, so he wants to undo this part of Obamacare. Yet Bill Nelson is for Reidcare? How come??
There’s another amendment on anti-trust provisions for insurance companies but I better let everyone soak this amendment in.
No excuses for Tingles and the PMS crowd.

Poor Jennifer, I was rooting for her on Top Chef. She couldn’t calm her nerves in a competition. Women are at such a competitive disadvantage to men when they grow up because so few participate in sports in school, where they can learn to deal with failure.
But in the end it doesn’t matter if you’re eliminated first or last, only one person is Top Chef and I doubt that would’ve been her given the time constraints on many of the challenges.
