There’s quite a few freepers who hate seeing guys like Brat win. They believe that only hand selected by leadership folks should run. Everyone else is qorking to elect Dems.

> “You can vote for someone who supports President Obama’s policies like Jack does, or you can vote for someone who knows from hundreds of years of economic history that top-down, centralized government planning fails every single time it’s been tried,” Brat said.

Cantor resigned early (Aug 18) for a nice, fat job. Brat was on the ballot twice Tuesday .... once for a special election to fill the rest of Cantor’s term and then again for the 2 year House term. He won both. He will be sworn in Nov. 12 and be in the lame duck session, then will be sworn in again in January for his regular two year term.
