Voters like Bob, delegates don't

[ccharles000]

Kristina Talbot says as far as she's concerned, it's time for Bob Bennett to go.

The three-term senator has been in office too long and is too steeped in the Washington culture, says Talbot, a delegate to the Republican State Convention from West Point.

"We need some new blood," Talbot said. "Most of it is anger toward Washington and the Republican Party ... because people think our party has been letting us down lately. And a lot of people think Bob Bennett is back there and he's not stepping up to the plate like he should be."

It's delegates like her that have put Bennett's back against the wall, with support from just 16 percent of delegates, according to a poll by The Salt Lake Tribune .
