Brat calls win against Cantor "a miracle from God"

This is a miracle from God,” said the economics professor, who toppled the second-most powerfulRepublican in the House in an upset that few, if any, in the party’s high command saw coming.

He's already showing a good amount of kookiness. I also wonder if the "God" talk is a dog whistle for Christian fundamentalists,God chose the Christian over the Jew.

It was a concerted effort. Now even if Brat wins in November, he has no seniority for committees, etc.

If you're interested in reading any of his written works, they can be viewed here:

One of them, “An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand” could make for interesting reading

is a picture of him with his family and Laura Ingraham.I know a lot of DUers like to believe democrats crossed over in this primary,but I doubt that happened to any great extent.His win came from right wing radio stars who set their sites on Cantor.Brat is either going to play to the crazy or he'll be abandoned too.

Came across an article in today's Washington Post analyzing voter turnout in Cantor's Congressional District, the article claims Dems had little to no impact on the race. I'll have to see if I can locate the article again and post it.
