If Democrats did cross over, his pollster is still an idiot for not accounting for that.
If Democrats can legally vote in the election, then the polls have to include Democrats. You of course weight the poll depending on what you expect turnout to look like, but the raw numbers should still be showing you something unusual, and you’d want to warn your candidate about that if you’re seeing it.
There’s a lot of incumbents in 2010 who jumped on the Tea Party bandwagon, most notably Michelle Bachmann. Few of those incumbents were Tea Partiers.
I keep telling you guys, but you don’t believe me, that the Tea Party movement is about reform as much as about far right conservatism. There are very few Republican incumbents who the Tea party wouldn’t like to see replaced. Especially in the leadership.
If this happened once, it can happen again. Has Ohio held their primaries yet? I bet Boehner’s doing internal polling about now if not.
Texas has a long way to go before turning blue. Romney beat OBama there by 16 points. Demographic change doesn’t happen THAT fast. You’re looking at 20 years, at least, before Texas is even purple, and that assumes too much about the effect of demographic change.
Boehner easily won his primary.
Maybe Karl Rove was doing his polling for him.
He can win his primary and election, but I am not so sure about him holding the Speaker slot.
Lindsey Graham is definitely endangered though, and I’d hate to lose him. He’s one of the good guys.
Darn, another demonstration of how the space time continuum has it against adaher. 
Fun fact: Both the Democrat and Republican candidate in Cantor’s district are professors from the same college.
Economics trumps sociology. Win for Brat.
One not so fun fact: If there is no write in or he gives it up, the Republican party lost its only Jewish member of Congress.
I’m sure someone will convert.
And make the efforts from the Republicans to be more inclusive to be a joke? Well, thanks for helping.
Like the cut-off head of a rattlesnake that can still inflict a deadly bite if not properly disposed of?
Got this second-hand on another message board:
Rachel Maddow says Virginia has a “sore-loser” law that says primary losers cannot run in the general.
Dunno if it’s true, but if so, Cantor’s gone, for at least this election.
Cantor has pretended, for years now, to be an utter imbecile in order to curry favor with the mouth-breathers in his party. Now, they turned on him.
That’s actually kind of sad.
Which is why any rattlesnake disposal kit includes a golf club.
They can’t be on the ballot as an independent. They can run as a write in candidate. The law in question:
Please, give us Speaker Louie Gohmert. Pretty please?
I really haven’t been following the issue too much, but was it the recent rash of stories about ‘illegal aliens are being trucked in’ that did Cantor in?
