A complete shocker in the VA Republican primary. The #2 guy in the House (and possible Presidential candidate) is getting his ass kicked by somebody no one’s ever heard of before.
Just heard this myself, and I’m pretty shocked. Never saw that one coming, but figured it was a matter of time before a person who was considered safe got picked off by the TP.
The AP calls it for Brat. Wow.
I’m shocked. I don’t know how to feel about this exactly.
The other guy might be worse, if that’s possible.
Wow. I sure wonder how Cantor is feeling about now.
Holy shit! It wasnt even close, something like 56-43. Wow.
Fascinating and unexpected.
Being anti-science is one thing but being anti-math is another, apparently.
He was going to give a speech at UPenn a few years ago, but Occupy went en masse to protest and he cancelled at the last minute. I thought to myself at the time “what a powerful person, he doesn’t have to even give these people the time of day,” part of me was a little envious.
The Dem is Mike Dickinson. Anyone know anything about him? I can’t find much online.
Apparently this is a district where only one Dem has won a U.S. House or Senate election since 1996.
Dunh-dunh-DUUUHHHH! With a side of Hi-YOOOOOO!
Never saw this coming.
He might have a chance if Cantor runs as a write-in candidate. It seems that it is too late for Cantor to declare as an Independent.
Has Karl Rove called it yet, though?
This is so hilarious.
I thought the Tea Party was dead.
I thought Eric Cantor was a tea partier. Did I miss something? Are they eating their own now?
Great google moogly.
If the Tea Party gets to pick off one this cycle it’s a big one. It improves the democrats chances from zero to negligible.
It’s the immigration issue.
Hasn’t Cantor been pretty much singlehandedly keeping the republicans from bringing that up?
Agreed. Now, can someone explain how Jeb Bush expects to win the presidency on this issue?
If you thought that, you have missed several things.
