Linda started at 78%. Not over yet.

[TomGuy]

Just turned on CNN.

Anderson Cooper is nearly in tears at Cantor’s loss.

Going to listen to the FoxNews panel for a while.

[Hostage]

At the rate he is falling he will be under 50% by the time 75% of the precincts have reported.

[Theodore R.]

This idea of multiple opponents even when 50 percent plus one is required needs to be re-thought.

[EDINVA]

There IS a Democrat who will be on the ballot. Viable or not is another question.

[neal1960]

Agreed.

[PistolPaknMama]

[TADSLOS]

Way too many challengers.

[JRandomFreeper]

Cruz was one of 6 challengers to Dewhurst (the establishment pick) for the Senate race, and took Dewhurst to a run-off. And then kicked his ass.

So multiple opponents can work well during a primary.

[StarFan]

Cameron fails to mention the big reason why Cantor lost, i.e., amnesty.

I agree to some extent. How does that explain Gramnesty not getting clobbered as well tonight?

[neal1960]

Locals just called Linda the winner. I’m sick of the so called “Conservatives” in SC. My political days are over. May God bless America.

[LostInBayport]

Politico has a check mark next to Linda’s name?

[JRandomFreeper]

Worked ok when Cruz whipped Dewhurst (the establishment anointed candidate) for the Senate seat.
