Do any of you remember what the polling was like in 2006? I remember hearing about a blue wave all year and was in constant denial until Election Day. How does 2018 stack up against 2006? Iraq was the blue motivater, today it’s Trump. Is that enough? Are we whistling past the grave yard? I suspect the real answer is “wait and see.”

Cantor in defeat.......bummer.

When Virginia's Eric Cantor lost big-time, he, too, showed astronomical polls and spent zillions against an obscure opponent.

At the time of his loss, Eric Cantor was the first sitting House majority leader to lose a primary since the position was created in 1899.

Internal campaign polls before the primary showed Cantor 30 points ahead of his unknown opponent, and he outspent Brat 40 to 1.
