Romney’s lack of influence at Utah’s GOP may foretell future decline of political influence for Mitt Romney. After all if Mitt lacks influence in Utah of all places, it was felt a loss in Utah for Mitt, may signal a decline in Mitt’s national influence.
“SALT LAKE CITY – Republican Sen. Bob Bennett was thrown out of office Saturday by delegates at the Utah GOP convention in what represents a stunning defeat for a once-popular three-term incumbent who fell victim to a growing conservative movement nationwide.
Bennett's failure to make it into Utah's GOP primary — let alone win his party's nomination — makes him the first congressional incumbent to be ousted this year and demonstrates the difficult challenges candidates are facing from the right in 2010.”
This is a horrendous defeat for Romney.

He cries when he loses. The pain they put other peoples lives through when in power, he thinks nothing of-- it is a game to him. Yet, he cries when he loses. What people these are.
ReplyDelete“former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney was almost a non-factor in the race. Romney fading a bit, even in Utah.”
ReplyDeleteGotta hurt, Romney a non-factor --- ego wounding.
Delegates waved yellow flags, hugged each other and shouted "he's gone, he's gone". --Vicious. :0)
ReplyDeleteSounds like in Oz when they all cried, “The wicked witch is dead”.
In Utah of all places!
