Stephen Stone, a Provo resident and president and editor of RenewAmerica.us....From this thread. I'm sorry, but a longshot candidate should not be hard to "pin down". An establishment candidate, sure -- play it safe -- but not a guy like Jacob.
"We've done research on John Jacob and it's kind of hard to pin him down. Chris Cannon has done some things that would be a red flag or troublesome to conservatives."
If you go to Jacobs' website, his positions are fuzzy and ill-defined. It resembles Kinky Friedman's, who is running for governor here in Texas.I should also note that Cannon has a near-perfect record from ACU and a near-perfect (almost 0%) from ADA. It would be a real shame if Jacob was worse than Cannon, particularly on illegal immigration.
Jacobs is hoping to slip in as the "un-Cannon." Cannon has a sterling record, and is being endorsed by the NRA.

You're quoting sinky as the basis for supporting Cannon over Jacob. SINKSPUR.
If a pro-gay RINO liberal like Sinky is supporting Cannon, that's pretty hard core proof that a conservative should back Jacob.
