Kaus may be making too much of Chaffetz' win. Cannon has been a weak incumbent for years. He was blessed with even weaker, extremist primary opponents. Chaffetz is young, personable, smart and a great grassroots campaigner. He got Gov. Huntsman elected here. In short, this was a case of the right primary opponent finally toppling Cannon, who is well-liked but uninspiring. McCain will still carry about 70 percent of the vote here in Utah.
