I don't know. They sometimes take no stand on an issue if they think that reasonable conservatives can differ. My guess is, however, they'd rate it about the same as Jacob's plan.

My impression is that you, Dane and Sinkspur were all in favour of Bush's amnesty (not amnesty) plan along with 95% of the senate democrats and all the RINOs. If that's true, who are you to tell us who the real conservatives are?

I am hoping that he sees the handwriting on the wall...I'm in Bishop's district, and never paid enough attention to Cannon.

I found this table:

Utah Registered Voters http://www.ballot-access.org/2004/0201.html#13

81,312 - Dems
317,186 - Republicans
909,986 - Unafiliated
122 - Constitution
883 - Green
2,273 - Libertarian
163 - Reform
79 - Nat Law
16,238 - Other

Those pesky undecideds could have a HUGE potential on the outcome, and there is absolutley no way to predict.

This is typical of all Dan Jones polls. They come out right before an election that everyone knows is close, and always show the conservative significantly behind.

Dan Jones is an open borders Democrat operative, and this poll isn't worth the pixels it's taking up on FR. It's meant to change reality, not reflect it.

Your sources stink.

Dan Jones polls are a liberal scam.

But, of course, you know that.

They fail to mention in the posted article that the unaffiliated voters of Utah may register Republican at the polls and unafiliate as soon as they leave...that is precisely why these figures matter immensely and the statement "But at least he does have strong support among the Republicans" in the survey — where Cannon leads 60-35 percent." is completely misleading.

And now it's degenerated to this. You have a crappy candidate, your thirst for vengence doesn't work and you lash out at the other guys for their motivations.

I cannot and will not speak for others. But I don't believe in any sort of amnesty at all. Geopolitically, we have to force Mexico to deal with its pathologies.

That being said, I'm much more against pompous demagogues and I'm foresquare against elevating such individuals to positions of authority in the party. I got the whiff of Tancredo when he tied himself to Bay Buchanan. That was enough for me. And I said from the beginning that Jacob's lack of specificity was more than suspicious.

But by all means, make it about me. I know how important my opinion is to everyone.

You still haven't told me what constitutes a "win" on Jacob's part.

Oh, I'm just pre-empting your inevitable tactics. You probably have the Jacob "victory" thread written already -- ready to post, just fill in the Jacobian vote total. That's the beauty of "sending a message".

Success is just failure with attitude.

I'm far from an expert on Cannon or Jacob or even your position other than apparently Cannon is soft on the border. This issue trumps everything because without proper immigration (legal and illegal) this country will fall into the hands of the Rats in which case every conservative can forget about every single issue they care about. To take the Rat position on this issue is unacceptable I don't care if Cannon agrees with me 100% on everything else. Republicans need to be shown this amnesty crap is unacceptable and retiring this guy is as good as any other way of doing it.

The only reason to even post to people like you is in the hope that the sun will come up and you'll be caught out in the sunshine.

I doubt anyone knows for sure who will win. I wouldn't be surprised if Cannon won though.

Ah, still about me. What about Jacob? Come on, you can do it, just give me a number...

Sounds like EV is taking a page out of the howard dean book, where Paul Hackett's loss to Jean Schmitt was a "victory".

He's got to be a democrat plant. Have you seen his record? Wasn't he against Bilbray in Ca?

Admit it though. Cannon has took a dump in his pants at having to face a serious challenge and being called out on his support for AMNESTY.

Even if he wins, you can bet that he'll limp into the chamber and meekly support strong border enforcement. Yeah I know he voted for HR 4437 but c'mon you and I both know his butt would have been barbecued even more by conservatives during the state convention.

You two are not getting along very lately are you? Let the sword play continue! I will score the points privately. Best to both of you.
