I voted last Monday in the early voting. No reason to wait until the 24th!

After watching both of these videos, the contrast between the tone taken by the interviewers is very clear. With Cannon, he was allowed to ramble on and on about topic after topic.

With Chaffetz, it seemed that both men ganged up on him and tried attacked his viewpoints throughout. It also seemed that the interview with Cannon lasted much longer and wasn't as edited as the Chaffetz one. For example, it appeared that several minutes were removed when Chaffetz was describing his work experience.

Hey, it only takes a few minutes of viewing Cannon to know he needs the boot!!! Vote the bumm out.

The bias of the media/pollsters is so obvious! Dan Jones, who runs most of the "credible" polls in Utah, recently stated that there was a 16% error rate in the Cannon/Chaffetz race. Normally, he expresses a far more reasonble error rate.

Of course, had he done so in this poll, he would have had to back off his neck-to-neck comment and tell the truth. I submit that Dan Jones did get the right numbers, and intentionally skewed the results in the outside hope that Cannon could somehow pull yet another rabbit out of his hat.

Didn't work!
