Aren’t the primaries in VA open as well? I was reading an article on the way into work saying that democrats in VA were celebrating because they turned out to beat Cantor in order to beat Brat in the general election. Is this the case?
If VA democrats helped Cantor, that will backfire on them. Cantor’s loss dooms immigration reform, which all those Dems wanted.
With a 12 point margin, I doubt it was a major factor. Tactical voting is a good story, ususally backed up by teeny numbers.
