Today is the Utah Republican Convention.
It has been stacked with crazy ass-ed tea party delegates.
Every zoo has one crazy ass-ed exhibit that no one can figure out what the animals are doing and in the Republican galaxy you would be hard pressed to find a more crazy ass-ed bunch of nuts.
Many expect them to wipe out Senator Bennett so that his name will not even be on the primary.
In Utah the Republican convention nominates the top two candidates that go on the primary ballot.
So children if you look over at this exhibit you can see Utah Republicans eating their own.
Bon Appetite.
So far this is what has happened:
House Rules chairman out, two others sent to primaries
http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_15046189?source=rv Utah Republican delegates have ousted the chairman of the Utah House Rules Committee and forced two moderate House members into June primaries.
Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Lee Perry grabbed 60.3 percent of the delegate vote in District 2 to clinch the GOP nomination. Longtime Rep. Ben Ferry fell less than one-half of one percentage point short of holding on to force a runoff.
Ferry, a rancher and businessman from Corinne, has enjoyed relatively easy elections in the past. He is the son of one-time Senate President Miles "Cap" Ferry.
In other shakeups at today's GOP Convention, Reps. Mel Brown and Becky Edwards must prevail in June 22 primaries to hold onto their House seats. Brown is an 18-year veteran of the Legislature, and previously served as House speaker. The farmer/businessman finished second in House District 53 delegate balloting to general contractor Jon Hellander, but the incumbent's 43.1 percent was enough to keep him in the race.
Edwards is in her first term from House District 20 in Davis County. Just two years ago she defeated incumbent Paul Neuenschwander to take the seat. She now heads to a primary with D.J. Schanz, a business owner.
Bennett brought in Mitt Romney to help beg for his job.
