Can you believe it? No Democrat filed to run against Cantor. That is a major dropped ball. I don't understand it, Cantor won re-election in 2012 with 58% of the vote, comfortable yes, but not prohibitive at all. No Democrat filed. So, I guess Brat is the de facto new Congressman for Virginia's 7th CD. Man, Democrats can screw up a wet dream. Virginia is a cross-over State, meaning whatever your party registration you can vote in either party's primary. That is a formula for mischief and I wonder--If you're a Demo in that district and you are Demo-less in candidates, it would certainly occur to me to wreak a little havoc by voting in the Republican Primary and try to knife Cantor! At this early stage of post-election analysis, and we are in preternatural chaos territory here, no one has mentioned this possibility, the primary result is uniformly described as the Tea Party having bagged a major scalp. Maybe that's what the data will bear out when the dust of Chaos settles, but maybe it won't! If Democrats crossed over in significant numbers it is they, the Democrats, who had a tomahawk too. But if not, if the instant analysis is correct, then it's the Tea Party that deserves the credit--or blame. If this was a pure Tea Party hit, then the GOP has walked off--cantered off--the reservation. If, at this early time, the conventional wisdom is right, then a perfect tsunami of party incompetence has submerged the Tidewater Basin tonight.

Hey folks in Tidewater?  Figure it out and get back to us, woudja? Thanks.
