There are none.
Seriously?
“To them, there’s no common ground to be had. Obama must be resisted — completely, on everything, and with no room for compromise.”
Shout it from the rooftops!
I thought the results for Richmond city were indicative. Very, very few votes cast. That would indicate to me that there was no organized campaign by the ‘rats to skew the election. If there were, they would have had a lot more ballots cast in an open primary in Richmond.
Excellent point.
The democrats didn’t even HAVE a candidate registered until Tuesday morning.
I guess the RATS followed the same polls Cantor followed.
I also guess TEA has finally learned to lie to or hang up on pollsters.
This exquisite ground-game needs to be repeated, and the ground-game guys need to be financed to share their M.O. with
every candidate of ours that needs it.
I’ve noticed absolutely no comment whatsoever by Tokyo Rove.
But probably not obstructionist enough. It takes a two-thirds majority in Congress to override an executive order.
Not everyone caught Paul Brandus, the author, winking, as he meant to say, "issues that might be used for some reciprocated, political 'back scratching'."

Thank you for the reply. Generally speaking, a district should consider the power their rep has in congress as a factor. This should never guarantee anyone a seat, get rid of bad people or people who advance bad policy by all means. But if Cantor was tolerable - and it seems he was for over a decade - the district lost influence kicking him out. It sure was interesting to see the district pull someone with the power to deliver a lot of pork, that is why I am commenting and reading on the loss. But good for them if they felt he was advancing the wrong policies or generally neglecting his commitment.
Brat does indeed seem like a good guy, and it seems the people of Central VA made a loud statement that the GOP should hear... if they aren’t already tone deaf. I don’t mind it at all, if I can’t have very limited government then give me gridlocked government.
You’re welcome.
The gop wing of the uniparty heard it loud and clear. Unfortunately, they don’t much care. They’re aware of how rare it is for a sitting rep to lose their seat. So they don’t see any particular threat accruing to them personally. The weasel was just unfortunate collateral damage from their perspective.
