This is going to have a tremendous ripple effect throughout DC.

Obama can now officially kiss any sort of immigration reform good bye. GOP isn't going to bend an inch now unless they want to commit political suicide. Also probably has GOP discussing their strategy, and rethinking Rubio and/or Bush in 2016.

In Virginia, Democrats and Republicans can vote in either primary, as long as they only vote in one. I am curious if the loss was due to Democrats voting for Brat, seeing as how the Dems didn't even run a primary in that district.

Cooter, from The Dukes of Hazzard was pushing for that very thing to happen.

oh, good point.

it's the same here in arkansas. you don't have to register with a party, so when you go to the polling place to vote, you just tell them what ballot you want.

And apparently he went on Chuck Todd's show this AM and said he wasn't prepared to answer any questions about policy. That's reassuring.

As I wrote on my FB. I am certainly no fan of the CORPORATE SHILL that is the Tea Party. Anyone who does a little research will find that Dick Armey, and THE KOCK bros., are the EVIL POWER BROKERS behind this movement. Any good minded people who think this is a grassroots movement, are being duped and lied to on a minute to minute basis by these scumbags! Having said that, I was pretty happy to see that Beaty eyed little bag of PUKE CANTor lose his seat! A pathetic 7 term fuking disgrace to my home state that he was! No doubt, I will find plenty of issues to disagree with David Brat about, but I am glad Cantor is gone!
