It may be inappropriate but if Utah’s Governor was Democrat he/she could appoint someone to finish out the term thereby giving an incumbent the upper hand. Something to think about. There could be 25 70+ year-olds in the senate. That’s too many.

Yeah, let’s all crap on a dead guy.

Bennett was ousted in 2010.
Mike Lee has his old Senate seat.

Looks like there are currently 6 senators over the age of 80 (5 or which are Republicans), and a further 18 over age 70 (8 Dem, 8 GOP, and 2 “independent”).

With all due respect, Mike Lee was a strong candidate with connections.

“The former senator also became a vocal critic of the conservative wing of the party. He repeatedly said it was pushing the party away from mainstream Americans in favor of ultra-conservatives in the model of Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee in 1964 who was soundly defeated in the presidential election.
Tributes from public figures came in Wednesday night.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said in a statement that Bennett was a friend and counselor.”

Wasn’t his father, Wallace Bennett, a conservative? Al Simpson of WY is “moderate”; his father, Milward Simpson, was conservative.

Not a fan of him politically but people have families. What you typed was disgusting and inappropriate.
