‘Truly stunned’: Eric Cantor getting clobbered in Virginia; Dave Brat shows early lead

Cantor looks cooked to me. Truly stunned. Low turnout+Immigration issue+ story of current border crisis=perfect storm for Brat

snip

Right now, I just don't see where Cantor (R) can make up his 58%-42% deficit. This would be the biggest House upset I've ever seen. #VA07

Goning to try my hand at math (never a good thing lol)

1st 25% 56-43 Brat
2nd 25% 56-43 Brat
3rd 25% 56-43 Brat

So in final 25%, Cantor would need to win 89% just to tie?

Just occurred to me; the RINO’s going down; they will be extremely dangerous i the weeks to come. What do they have to lose; but worse yet, what do they have to GAIN after their “public” life and stepping into their new (purchased?) lives in the private sector by doing favors for their rat friends??

All I can say is, WOW! If this holds it promises to be the biggest upset so far this election season. Now if McDaniel can win in the south.....

Just a notice to all you RINO's out there....

We, as a conservative group that elected you into office, is getting sick of the 'lip service' that you use to get into office with our votes.

We are working individuals so we do not have time to stand out in front of your headquarters and picket you. We don't have time to follow you around and harass you like would happen with your Democratic brethren.

However, what we DO do is remember the lies and vote accordingly. I myself, and as a group, are SICK AND TIRED of listening to what we want to hear when you are running, and then folding like a card table to the principles that Conservatives thought we were electing.

It will not happen overnight, but we will vote all of your asses out of office. Period. No one puts up with being lied to, and we have long memories.

I am dealing with one in my state now....New Hampshire. Kelly Ayotte said all the right things to get 'into the club', now she just sells out on conservative values and ideas every chance she gets. I am looking forward to getting her out of office as soon as that opportunity presents itself.

The battle continues....and it's a marathon, not a sprint.

They will do massive damage and take down as many as they can on their way down.

This may be a harbinger of the 2014 results nationally. Wouldn’t that be something?

Anyone good at math to tell us what Cantor would need to come back?

Quick calcs here...

53,152 total votes represent 75% of the precincts.

Assuming a straight line spread of votes across precincts, that means there is a total available votes of 70,869.

That leaves 17,717 left to win.

Cantor is behind by 6,532, which is 37% of the remaining votes.

So he has to win 50% of the remaining vote + the 37% you mentioned

Be aware that Obama will be getting the message also, but not the way we want. He is going to double down and do everything short of busing the illegals in to crash this country faster and sooner.

That is a real possibility with Cantor, as his wife is employed by the amnesty loving chamber of commerce. There's no reason for her to have a job there if Cantor can't deliver.

Win or lose, the RINOs are going to do to us what they’re going to do to us anyway. Cantor out on his arse tonight is a good outcome.

When Michael Barone says it is over it will be over.

He is usually on Fox News during election nights.

Anyone see him yet.
