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.

True. They throw in a few conservative statements, every once in a while, for the ratings/$$.
Megyn was referring to what Laura Ingraham was talking about that she was upset that he didn’t get much tea party organizations support. He got plenty of tea party grassroots support, just not from the president or tea party express and the other TP groups. Thank God he got the support of several conservative radio hosts like Levin and Laura Ingraham.
Rove is getting his (Spin) talking points memo from the White Hut, as we speak.
LOOOOSA!
No, it will not take decades- it will take multiple generations. You omitted the medical industry, the insurance industry, the automotive industry, and outlawing of public sector unions. There are likely many more that I have not thought of yet.
The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single primary.
I HOPE AND PRAY this was not DEM interfering in the PRIMARY!!!! I am
so praying this is a REAL WIN for our side!!!!!!
If the Kenyan Klown needs, let him sell the DHS ammo hoard.
But I am planning on getting back to it in the near future.
Keep the faith, and don't touch that third rail.

“I forgot about this earlier, but did you hear Megyn Kelly say, “Well, he (Brat) sure didn’t get the Tea Party vote.”
Is she drunk?”
*******************************************************************
No, she was saying that Brat didn’t get financial support from the Tea Party organizations—which is true, he didn’t. He did it largely with his own sweat, hard work and smarts—plus that of his volunteers.
I always remember Hume being David Gregory level rude to Bush I back when Hume was at ABC News as white house reporter
He is born again to his credit.
But hopelessly beltway imprisoned

First, Megyn Kelly is a lawyer so she looks down her nose at Brat cause only lawyers know anything /s
Brit is a fraud, pushing his “political commentary” that is actually his personal political position on issues. Tonight he made the statement that there are campaigns using the term amnesty in a false definition. Oh really? Let’s see, all the proposals pushed and even passed by the Senate allowed Criminal Invaders STAY in this country LEGALLY. That is Amnesty by any definition
I hope everyone reading this sends a email to both Brit Hume and his boss roger ailes at fox news reminding of his comments on air and add this link that is on Drudge that says EXACTLY what those outside of Foggy Bottom and this country think this is!
See post 339
I certainly hope not. I’m glad to hear that Virginia has a law preventing him from running as an independent.
We knew this.
Not sure - I found it and thought it looked pretty cool and yes - hooray for the tea party, at least for the immediate future, much more to do!
Congrats on your postgrad work.
Yes, I really do miss your writing.
Hope things open up for you, so you can complete your series.
Best regards to you.
LOL - good one.
