Big: Majority Leader of House, Eric Cantor, projected to lose to Dave Brat.

I hate to be blindly optimistic. Especially when the demon-crats are involved. They'll have everyone in Arlington National Cemetary voting for their candidate.

They may have to run someone from Arlington National Cemetery.

I'm sure the Democrats are celebrating. At least now they have a shot to take the seat.

A long shot is better than none at all. But it's still a long shot.

The biggest of the leftist hacks are out talking about how the GOP hates jews now.

That's how you know who has no integrity.

Only ones I can produce right now. Read a lot about it late last night, I'll search for some more comments on it.

This is good news. Amnesty would not bode well for gun owners.

Where are the tweets?!?!

WSJ: We're not saying David Brat is a Hitler acolyte, but we're not *not* saying that...

Always nice to have the quote in context rather than the Twitter extract:

Hitler came along, and he did not meet with unified resistance. I have the sinking feeling that it could all happen again, quite easily.

Not low voter turnout at all. 40% higher than when Cantor won in 2012.

How in the world can you get any sense of approval of Naziism out of that? Just amazing.

It's trivial if you are dishonest and have no problem with quoting out of context.

Interesting read from a blogger in Virginia. Apparently it goes way beyond immigration. Top ten reasons Eric Cantor lost

Good read. The writer is absolutely correct on grassroots. Ever since 08, the significance of grassroots cannot be underestimated.

Brat had a staff of two, including one 23-year-old.

Pretty amazing victory over establishment.

 

[MisterChester]

It's nice to see that Dave Brat has an economics background. We need more people like that in congress. I had read somewhere that less than 5% of congressmen and senators have a business degree of any kind.

edit: according to this, it's just under 14%

Can Brat keep from Mourdocking himself?

 

[pudly]

Of course not. He doesn't even have to say anything negative to be painted that way by the media. See Nazi/anti-Semite reference above. He's a Republican, so he will be constantly fending off various false accusations.

It is my belief that every politician has his "Mourdocking" moment......It depends on which side of the Political spectrum one is as to whether the moment enters into the 24 hour news cycle...

IMHO ofcourse...

I just saw Chris Matthews (of all people) say some pretty kind words on Frank Sinatra's son Ronan Farrow's show today concerning this election and the tea party...Be prepared to spit out what ever beverage you may be imbiding in before you watch the clip....

Always nice to have the quote in context rather than the Twitter extract:

The liberals assume that folks will listen to rumors and lies rather than read the facts. So they lie through their teeth for whatever they can get out of it.
