It is almost a 95% certain that Senator Bob Bennett, one of the most conservative members of the US Senate, will be defeated in the Republican convention and not make it to the primary to defend his seat.
This is the third most obvious example of how the Republican Party is going through a psychotic event. Following the serious primary challenge of their standard bearer in the Arizona Republican Primary and the pushing out of Crist in Florida, the bizarre public firing of Senator Bennett is all the evidence that is necessary to convince moderate voters that when it comes to the Republican Party, the wing-nuts clowns have taken over the circus.
Bennett had the temerity to criticize Glenn Beck and Beck has been ranting how Bennett has to go. The Republicans of Utah are about to throw away a senior Senator with credibility for a candidate that is pimped by Glenn Beck.

Senator Bennett one of the Senate's most conservative
Senators is about to be 'tea partied' out of the Senate.
Unless Sen. Bob Bennett's political fortunes change dramatically in the next two weeks, he could become Utah's first incumbent U.S. senator to lose his party's nomination in seven decades.
A new Salt Lake Tribune poll of Republican delegates shows Bennett running in third, behind GOP challengers Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater.
Lee logged 37 percent support in the survey, while Bridgewater came in at 20 percent, and Bennett lagged at 16 percent.
The survey of 400 Republican delegates, with a 4.4 percent margin of error, was conducted April 22-25 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. of Washington, D.C. It comes less than two weeks before the May 8 state GOP convention.
"Bennett has almost no shot of getting more votes at the convention than Bridgewater and Lee," Brad Coker, managing director at Mason-Dixon, said Monday.
And in a Republican race where only two can survive, that would spell the end for the three-term senator.
