RICHMOND, Va. — Dave Brat, a local economics professor, toppled House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Tuesday night in the most shocking primary defeat since Republicans took the House in 2010.

The conservative challenger’s victory halts one of the most meteoric rises in national politics, and illustrates the strong anti-incumbent fever that has taken over Cantor’s Richmond-area district. Cantor is the second House incumbent to lose this primary season — Texas GOP incumbent Ralph Hall was defeated by a tea-party backed challenger at the end of May.

Cantor’s defeat not only reorders Virginia politics, where Cantor was the highest-ranking Republican, but it completely throws the House Republican leadership into flux. Cantor, 51, was long seen as the next speaker of the House after John Boehner retires.

Last night Brat was on Mark Levin and he said that he was behind by 10. The power of Mark Levin!

[Old Yeller]

YES! Now S.C., knock Miss Lindsey out.

The ass hat Cantor saw his internal polling was tanking. He then goes on an useless illegal immigration campaign to pick up a few extra votes. Instead he lost even more votes from his base. Don’t you idiot RINOs understand that illegal immigrates are your political enemy. They will never vote for you....ever!

HUME!: no legislation that has been true amnesty.

WHAT!

legally that is 100% BS!!!!!

[PJ-Comix]

The short article is nothing like the Solan article earlier today, which is posted on Drudge, where Solan was making fun of Drudge’s posts highlighting Cantor’s push on amnesty. Solan also made smart aleck remarks about Cantor being certain to win in the primary. Drudge is obviously celebrating the Cantor and Solan put down.

Oh? And what did SALON have to say?

Thank You Virginia!!!

NOo doubt

[RedMonqey]

Hume is having a hissy fit!!!

[Norm Lenhart]

Hume is a liberal. Don’t be shocked.

[stevio]

So will he now pass it (amnesty) to spite us?

“And so glad you got to post it cotton!!!!!”

Oh, I have been doing daily searches on this ass for months, to keep apprised of his latest schemes. His defeat is so well deserved!

I haven't looked at FOX in ages. I only put it on because Levin said they have long faces.

I heard that evil POS Hume say that Cantor was NOT for amnesty.

The evil POS Hume stated that Americans "broadly" are for immigration reform.

Hume is truly an evil POS.

[TADSLOS]

Hume is a beltway toadie. He’s currently giving the FNC blondie a lecture on what the dictionary definition of amnesty is and claiming that none of the immigration reform legislation meets that definition.

LOL!
What an upset this was!

Ditch Mitch!
