Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) is in a desperate battle to keep his re-election hopes alive as his state’s GOP convention kicks off this weekend. Bennett may not be able to win the party’s nomination.

But on CNN last night, Bennett said he’s not out yet.

“There’s a great anger about Washington,” he said. “A lot of people say, ‘We hate what’s going on, we hate everybody who’s there.’ And in Utah, the only anybody they vote against who happens to be there turns out to be me.”

“The anger is very strong and that’s why I’m in trouble.”

If I meet with the delegates, if I spend time with them going through the facts, I find I can turn them around. Just this morning I had a breakfast with a group of delegates, and I said, ‘How many of you are undecided?’ A majority raised their hand. And that’s what makes me think I still have a shot at this.
