Just curious, how is it a "thrashing" when Cannon didn't get the support of his own state party forcing him into a runoff with a political novice, he had to call on everyone (including the president and first lady) just to hang onto a seat he has held for 5 terms and he only got 55.8% of the vote in the primary? Uh 56-44 is not "just hanging on" it's considered a mild landslide.
It seems the voters like Cannon much better than the one issue zealots who inundated the GOP convention.
Also Jacob spent 6 times the amount of money than Cannon's 2004 opponent and that got him a whopping 2% bump.
And finally turnout was poor(7% in Salt Lake County) despite all the local and national publciity on how this was a referendum for immigration, few Utahan voters came out, basically saying that voters in one of the most conservative districts in the country really don't have immigration high on their political radar.
