Obama's coattails certainly did not hurt him in 2008... he won with 64% in a district that is 5 points less Republican than the whole state.  He also did very well in rural areas... winning all but two rural counties that are located in his district.

Also, in a race between Matheson and Chaffetz, Matheson may end up being perceived as the most pro-Utah candidate.  For one thing, Chaffetz is an extremist even by Utah standards.  Matheson is more of a populist.  Matheson has lived in Utah his whole life, and has always been a Mormon.  Chaffetz is an ex-Californian Jewish Democrat.

Well, Mormons consider it to be their holy land, so being "pro Utah" is probably very important to them.
