GOP Sen. Bennett predicts Reid win
Associated Press ^ | July 9, 2010 | Brock Vergakis

Posted on 07/09/2010 3:57:52 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Warning that tea party "mischief" may be aiding Democrats this election season, defeated Utah Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Bennett says that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid likely will keep his seat and that the GOP may not win hotly contested Senate seats in Colorado or Kentucky either.

Bennett, a three-term incumbent who lost his re-election chances when he failed to win his party nomination this year, made the comments in an interview with The Associated Press.

The Utah senator said he fears tea party extremism could end up costing the GOP seats that they otherwise would have been able to win.

He said he also worries that the GOP has no clear plan to govern if they take control of the Senate this election year.

I think Bennett is a dreamer. A Pubbie talking about Tea Party “extremism” tells me there’s a RINO working here.

I just made another contribution to Sharron Angle. This time I signed up for a recurring monthly payment. Harry Reid MUST be defeated.

Y’know, the real “bitter clingers” are the RINOs that stay well past their welcome.
