In a huge surprise, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va) has just been defeated in the state's GOP primary. Cantor, a whiny, ambitious political brat, lost to an actual brat -- an unknown Tea Bag college professor named Dave Brat.
Cantor, a 7-term Congressman assumed to be the heir-apparent to House Speaker John Boehner, outspent Brat 40-to-1, but still Brat took 55% of the vote by claiming Cantor was for "amnesty" for illegal immigrants, and was just not conservative enough.
This is a mind-blowing, historic upset. The incumbent House Majority Leader has never, ever been defeated in a primary before.
Don't know who the D's are running for this District, but the win by the ultra-right Brat could represent a good opportunity to pick up a seat in the House.
I mean, c'mon Virginians! You don't wanna be represented by a Brat, do ya?
