The problem? Cannon is open borders. Notoriously so.

His opponent will also be 100% ACU. And for closed borders and anti-amnesty. And if he wins the primary, he will win the seat.

That's an improvement.

I remember in '04 a guy named Matt Throckmorton also forced Cannon into a primary.

Cannon was for pro-illegal alien H.R. 1684 and Throckmorton ran against Cannon on that issue.

Cannon won IIRC by a good margin.

Anyway, after the 04' primary Cannon seems to be whistling a different tune -- he does a good anti-illegal alien thing by voting for HR4437.

IMO, It's hard to assess the Cannon '06 runoff as anti-illegal alien progress.
