Didn't think so.
Here's a few comments from their newsites -- where, BTW, there isn't one favorable to Cannon.

The fact that Chris Cannon has been pushing for Amnesty for Illegal Aliens for the past 8 years is bad enough. It's even worse that he is now lying to Utah Voters about it.
Just a couple months ago Cannon was telling delegates that he opposes sanctions against companies who knowingly employ Illegal Aliens, not he is saying he supports sanctions. He is also now trying to tell us he opposes Amnesty, and is tough on Illegal Immigration.
It's one thing to ignore your constituents on an issue (instead catering to special interest groups), it's another to lie about your positions & voting history while trying to get re-elected.
Whether you like Cannon or you don't, we all should be offended by this. Cannon has become a conniving politician in every sense of the term.
When the polls close tonight I hope Mr. Cannon is sitting down becouse he may not like the outcome?
Good luck JDJ. We need you to represent us
It's time for a change in the 3rd Congressional District. Get out and make your voice be heard all over the nation and especially here in Utah. Vote for John Jacob for Congress!
I was for Chris Cannon until I started reading. He says he is strong on immigration but his voting record shows otherwise. He is for amnesty. He is for illegal students having in-state tuition. He will not be straight on any issue. We do not want or need anyone of his ilk in Washington.
James is right. District 3 voters, use the power of your vote to smack the chimp by voting Cannon out of office. We can clean up the mess created by electing Jacob in the next round of elections in 2008
My vote is in...John Jacob
Cannon supported a bill that does nothing to stop the torrential flood of illegal immigrates. A vote for him ensures that our children have to deal with horrible problems down the road!
Mexico is rooting for cannon, that tells us that we better vote for Jacob
I vote for Pedro
A vote for Cannon IS a vote for Pedro
I'm sure I can find more to entertain you two, if you so desire
I have been following the political bloggers in Utah partly here

I would say thats its fair to say that Cannon has got conservative supporters from viewing it the last two weeks
Does the Right Hand Know What the Far Right Hand Doeth?
by Gordon S. Jones
Quarterback Bay Buchanan, of Team America, steps up to the line of scrimmage and surveys the playing field, trying to read the defense:
1. At the Utah Republican Convention she blasts John Jacob as being weak on immigration. She and her organization endorse Merrill Cook (in fact she nominates him) against Chris Cannon in Utah’s Third District.
Fair enough. After all, Jacob had called Tom Tancredo, founder of Team America, “an opportunist,” and implied some harsher things. He also failed the UFIRE interview, provoking a very harsh e-mail attack on him.
2. But Cook lost at convention, leaving Jacob the only anti-Cannon game in town, so Buchanan calls an audible at the line of scrimmage, and Team America comes to Utah with an ad campaign endorsing Jacob.
3. Meantime, however, at a joint interview with the editors of the Provo Daily Herald, Cannon had mentioned the compromise plan being proposed by Indiana Rep. Mike Pence. Oh yes, says Jacob. Pence probably got the idea from me.
4. That is unlikely, since Pence actually got the idea from Helen Krieble of the Vernon Krieble Foundation. You can read Pence’s short description of it here, and the complete Krieble Foundation report here. Utah State Senator Howard Stephenson has mooted a related idea around.
5. But wherever Pence got it, it is doing him no good with Team America. On their website (where you can also see a picture of Chris Cannon with a bull’s eye painted on him) [since taken down — Ed.] there is a vicious attack on Mike Pence and his proposal, and Bay’s brother Pat blitzes Pence in an op-ed posted on TownHall.
So here you have Team America running ads supporting John Jacob whose position on immigration is similar to Mike Pence’s—and Chris Cannon’s for that matter—at the same time Team America targets the former for political annihilation and the latter for…well, who knows?
Time out, and back to the huddle.
NB: the use of the term “right” in the headline is not to be confused with “conservative,” at least as I understand the terms and use them. The “right” in this sense implies a certain cultural and social attitude that is often shared by conservatives, but not always. Sometimes terms like “social conservative” are used to make the distinction, but I prefer to describe myself as a conservative, but not a Man of the Right. By rights, to avoid confusion, I should have modified the headline, but I was so enamored of the wordplay I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Maybe if I could have gotten the football metaphor to work out better….
Check this board out, not one Cannon supporter from the district on it. Hope they vote:

It looks like you had the same link. :) I still hope all those people vote.
