Democracy in action

Republican Sen. Bob Bennett was thrown out of office Saturday by delegates at the Utah GOP convention in what represents a stunning defeat for a once-popular three-term incumbent who fell victim to a growing conservative movement nationwide.

The bosses backed Bennett.

The rank and file ousted him.

For some reason, the media spins this as somehow undemocratic.

In fact, it's how a democracy is supposed to operate.
