Trounced, actually. Good on the GOP voters there for voting out an establishment politician who didn't listen to the voters in his district. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...ME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-06-10-20-05-45
Denny playing it both ways. The scrap of paper in his wastebasket says: hey barfo Republican Party seems pretty strong to be able to keep its majority leader.
Cantor is the first House majority leader (either party) to lose since 1899. Cantor out-fundraised Brat by a 25-to-1 margin and lost anyway. Congrats to the voters in VA-7. There is still hope to get away from the establishment politicians from both parties.
Cantor will be a douche and run a write in campaign. It will split the conservative vote and give the election to the Democrat candidate.
Big, big loss for conservatives. Not trivial is...he's the most handsome presidential candidate Republicans have. He might have become the first Jewish president someday. http://www.jta.org/2014/06/10/news-opinion/politics/eric-cantor-headed-for-primary-defeat
Uh... no. Barfo made a thread a week or two ago about the strength of the tea party. I think this primary result speaks to the tea party's strength. I honestly have no positive or negative feelings about Cantor. Buh bye.
Cantor isn't a conservative, other than his ancient and outdated anti-gay social conservatism. GOP voters in that district, thank you for giving the rest of the country an example which to follow!!! Next, let's get rid of that partisan hack Merkley in Oregon with another outsider who isn't a social conservative wacko, Monica Wehby.
I'd like to point out that Virginia has a "sore loser" law, which make Cantor running a write-in campaign almost impossible.
There is, of course, no comparison between conservative Republican Cantor and liberal Democrat Merkley.
I think that thread was several weeks ago. Since that thread, most of the elections have gone towards the establishment, but this one is a clear win for the tea party. And I couldn't be happier for the Republican party barfo
The law says he can't run as an independent; he can run a write-in campaign based on what I'm reading. But is not expected to. barfo
His dad Eddie, who looks just like him, had him the old-fashioned way. [video=youtube;ANRPmTZRqkg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANRPmTZRqkg&list=RDzg1bU4l1_z4[/video]
He can run as a write-in candidate. He can't be on the ballot as the candidate of a different party than he ran for in a primary. Makes sense to me. :MARIS61:
Wait, this is too perfect. Of all the people on this board, our expert about sore losers is...PapaG? If anyone has questions about sore losers, just direct them to him.
The first thing I thought of when I heard Eric Cantor lost was "Denny is going to rub this in Barfo's face."
