Seems that voters in one of the most conservative districts in the US don't have immigration high on their political radar.

Regardlesss of turnout, how does a challenger garner 44% of the vote against one of the most conservative members of Congress in "one of the most conservative districts in the US?" Immigration can be a winner for the GOP as it was for Bilbray. This should be a wake-up call.

Uh Jacob got a whopping 2% bump, while spending 6 times the amount Cannon's challenger did in 04 and focusing on the same issue, immigration.

Plus there was massive local publcity for this "immigration referendum" and the voters still gave a big yawn.
