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.

Yes, Brit Hume is spinning like a top. He is saying that NO Republican and certainly not Cantor is for amnesty, which in the dictionary means “pardon”.
What a load!
The “procedure” for citizenship amounts to a pardon, period.
Laura Ingraham had just got through saying that, as exemplified by the invasion of unaccompanied minors across our borders, no one in DC is talking about the effect on the country of this invasion, and that the people of this district have told her that their lives are not getting better, and there needs to be a change in the faces in DC.
Unreal…
” Its not censorship, its the fairness doctrine”
Britt Hume is a tool
Freepers should now BELIEVE in the dreaded purity...because it wins big ;)
FNC just announced Graham snuck by in the primary.

“Is it even legal for the GOP to funnel money to a write in candidate?”
Col North was taken down by a R “Independent”. Keep your eye on Rove and the Country Club Rhinos.
Amnesty means no prosecution for PAST crimes. What RepublOcrats are pushing is open borders; no prosecution for violating immigration laws in the FUTURE.
Calling it ‘amnesty’ is wildly understating the damage.
Fox News is full of his type. They are all on the same Washington D.C. cocktail party circuit circle jerk. Bunch of country club elitist puke traitors - the whole lot. I despise them.
Figures. But it is still a big message. The lesser evil crew helped ensure his keeping his liberalism alive, but we can fight it if we want to bad enough.
Eric I. Cantor 28,631 44.45% David A. Brat 35,787 55.55%
55% WAY TO GO!
is amnesty shut down? or will rinos push faster?
Last night, on someone’s show, Brit said that we need to embrace these illegal kids because they have so much to offer the country. Let him adopt all of them.
