So far Mr. Cantor has responded to his humiliating loss with dignity.

Yes, I have no doubt that Cantor is upset.

No signs of a write-in. Good. More grace than that tool MurCOWski or Thad Cochran.

Let’s focus on the three outcomes of this. An opportunity to get a solid speaker when Bohner hangs up the gavel, momentum for the Tennessee senate race, and the end of amnesty this year at least.

That is true, but this seems to me, to mean that just maybe the GOP can be saved.

So maybe, just maybe the Tea Party can take over the GOP in part, rather than actually ending up leaving, and going head to head with the old gang.

Of all the people I never expected to lose, Cantor was way, way up on that list.

This is very significant.

Just kinda curious as which candidate the GOPe and RNC will endorse and support in the General. My guess is money to the Democrat under the table while kinda voicing tepid support for Mr Brat.

The voters are to be applauded for their good judgment.

This has the Dems worried! Here is an email that just went out from the DNC:

Democrats

I've been working in Virginia politics for a long time, but I've never seen anything like what happened tonight.

Seriously: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor just lost his primary to a Tea Party challenger. Eric Cantor -- Eric. Freaking. Cantor. -- is officially too moderate to win the nomination of the Republican Party. And the results are not even close!

The Tea Party isn't just alive and well -- it's taken wholesale control of the GOP.

We've got to stop these guys, and here's why: If they think that the House under Eric Cantor is too moderate, you can only imagine what Congress will look like if they win this November.

Chip in $3 or more right now, and help Democrats fight the Tea Party:

Watching FOX reporting on this.

Meghan's show quoted a few Dems who were pretending to be pleased, but this is the opposite of how they truthfully feel.

Clearly the GOP, especially the traditional wing (I typically skip the "Tea Party" term) is energized, and so are the swings and indies, most of whom know that amnesty is neither legal nor constitutional and will raise crime and will cost jobs and would supplant the very traditions of our way of life.

Eric, don’t forget to sign up for Obamacare on your way out. You’re little people now.
