The MSM, and MSNBC in particular, is crapping all over itself

on the Cantor defeat. A stunning Tea Party victory, the absolute death of immigration reform, blah, blah, blah…
Nowhere...not once…have I heard it mentioned that this was an open primary.
Stunning. They are beyond worthless.

that his district wanted and deserved but which he blocked.

This is no stunning teabagger victory. Too many people were pissed off at Cantor.

Cantor was polling up by 36%. Think they polled any Democrats?

He'd already proven himself a traitor to his district. Brat is an unknown to many of them.

They'll get to know him a lot better by November, I hope.

along with low turnout. Was stuck watching CNN this morning -- they mentioned it in passing. They're just playing the percentages -- selling the story as a teabagger victory means ad revenues from them.

Cantor's district is almost 80% repub. His polling numbers showed him with a huge lead. And a no-name professor beat him.

This was a stunning loss for Cantor and the winner was the tp-er. It was a stunning tp victory, no matter how it was achieved.
