Disgruntled Utah Republicans Go Conservative

District 3 (Provo & environs) incumbent Rep. Chris Cannon defeated by Jason Chaffetz in low-turnout primary.

Sounds like a similar theme to California's District 4's recent primary: Very conservative district, asked to choose between an experienced hand (Doug Ose) and an outsider firebrand (Tom McClintock), chooses the outsider firebrand.

The analogy isn't exact (the voter turnouts were different, for example), but it's close....
