This is good news. I live in Utah and Chris Cannon is a good guy.

Why were the polls so far off? Will Cannon become a little tougher on illegal immigration.
To: garbageseeker
Hopefully Mr. Canon has had a 'come to Jesus' moment on the issue.
If not, he'll be toast in two years.

I hope so. But the nation will be watching him on how he casts his votes on illegal immigration.

Why were the polls so far off? Will Cannon become a little tougher on illegal immigration. Why do most polls underestimate Republican turnout in general elections?
To: Paleo Conservative
Its usually the person taking the poll.

Sometimes there is other factors such as intensity,or you have some prople saying they are going to the polls and they end up not going.

Sometimes, there is bias may show up when taking a poll or even the sample number.

"The people will be watching ..."
Famous last words. They're probably even true. But they're not necessarily relevant. People watch all kinds of things, like television, while remaining passive. That's what just happened tonight.
The results are even worse than I expected. Politicians don't get serious about something like this unless and until a few lose their jobs over it. And with Republicans, that has to be done in primaries.
A bad night and a bad result for those of us who want to control immigration. And not a good night for democracy, either. It makes you wonder if it still really works.

I dont think so. It win the war you must some lose battles.

In World War II, there was some battles that were lost before the war was won. You will lose some battles before you ultimately win the war.

Considering that it's usually just the base that votes in primaries, that under 20% of the state voted and Cannon scored a double digit win despite the best efforts of an out-of-state PAC, this does send a clear message to the rest of the GOP.
To: CWOJackson
Its a mixed message. Bilbray still won.

I agree. The problem is, we've lost quite a few.
I don't mind losing a few battles, if the general direction of the war is in our favor. But it's far from clear to me that it is. Arguably, we've had almost no victories, and many defeats. While it's true that there haven't been many serious challenges to incumbents based on immigration, and therefore few defeats in that limited respect, it seems to me that the infrequency of serious immigration-based challenges is itself a defeat.
We don't have much time to win this war, which is why I'm impatient. And not optimistic.

Chris Cannon is an Open Borders RINO. The people of his district still don't get it.
