Thus far, all the journalists in Washington and Utah are getting their storyline wrong on Sen. Robert Bennett (R-Utah) who is facing a Primary election challenge next year from Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. The journalists claim that at least Bennett isn't vulnerable on the immigration issue which was a key factor in the Primary defeat of six-term Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah) in 2008. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. NumbersUSA gives Sen. Bennett a far worse immigration grade than earned by amnesty-king Cannon.

According to TheHill.com, a congressional newspaper that publishes when Congress is in session, "Romney believes that one way to attract more minorities to the GOP is to pass immigration reform before the next election, saying the issue becomes demagogued by both parties on the campaign trail." The article also quotes Romney as saying, "We have a natural affinity with Hispanic-American voters, Asian-American voters."http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editori
