John Doe, channelling Woody Guthrie to Eric Cantor
In a full out David and Goliath, GOP House Majority Leader , Eric Cantor was sling shotted by some NO CHANCE / NO MONEY Tea Party/ Christianist Econ professor from Randolph Macon College ( which is NOT Randolph Macon Woman's College , I think ), David Bratt. Out spent by some huge number and with no real outside help OTHER than nut job right wing talk radio - Bratt looked just as shocked as Cantor.
Rep. Cantor was BLINDSIDED early on, going down by 12 points - Cantor was not even in his district for the election, thinking it was just a done deal. The ONLY issue in the Virginia 7th , which is urban Richmond and its outliers was : BROWN PEOPLE ARE COMING ! BE AFRAID. Latinos voted for President Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney by 71% to 21% - Hillary will top 80 after this .
The first time since 1899 a sitting party leader has been voted out - or primaryied out, which ever.
