THE HEIGHTS, NOT THE ROOTS:

How Bennett got Clubbed (Politico, 5/10/10)

The Club for Growth can claim another Republican casualty after last weekend’s GOP convention in Utah, where the anti-tax group plowed money into successfully organizing opposition to Sen. Bob Bennett’s bid for a fourth term. [...]

In total, the group spent $177,750 on the primary, largely on phone calls to delegates, online strategy, mailings and robo-calls in an effort to put as many anti-Bennett delegates in the room last weekend as possible. The linchpin of the Club’s effort was a push to turn out sympathetic participants to 2,000 caucuses that were held on March 23, where Republicans chose the delegates who ultimately rejected Bennett.
