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.

Blue, The Rhios brought out an old RINO loser to make it into a 3 way race and siphon off R votes. Col North lost by a narrow margin.
The RINO loser was never used nor heard of again. Cantor will not do the same.
1,000s of illegal children are to be sent to Richmond as puishment for CANTOR’s defeat.
The Fat Lady has not yet been summonded to the stage.

“when did Col North run and was he the lone (R) candidate”

In 1994, North unsuccessfully ran for the United States Senate as the Republican Party candidate in Virginia. Republican Senator John Warner of Virginia endorsed Marshall Coleman, a Republican who ran as an independent, instead of North. North lost by a 46% to 43% margin to incumbent Democrat Charles Robb, a son-in-law of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Coleman received 11%.
Republican Senator John Warner later hand picked Cantor. John Warner is now backing left wing millionare DEM Mark Warner in Mark's re-election efforts in the Senate. We can write off this Senate seat.
