In a post-Eric Cantor world, anything seems possible. And Tuesday’s races in Mississippi, Oklahoma and New York offer fertile territory for upsets and surprises.

Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) is the underdog in a runoff with state Sen. Chris McDaniel, and could end up the first Senate incumbent to lose this year. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) faces his toughest reelection challenge yet as he seeks a 23rd term. And Rep. James Lankford (R-Okla.) is trying to fend off a tea party-backed former state House speaker in the race for an open Oklahoma Senate seat. Colorado and Maryland also are holding primaries.

A number of incumbents are having trouble today: Charles Rangel in Harlem versus a Hispanic opponent; James Lankford versus Tea Party opponent; and of course, Thad Cochran in Mississippi versus Chris McDaniel.

These are the incumbents and viewed by many as the ones who will probably lose the races today...

James Lankford is in Oklahoma -- I forgot to mention.

There are also primaries today in Colorado and Maryland, but I guess there is a great deal of interest in Mississippi if there will be repeat of the Eric Cantor loss there.

Probably illegal immigration is contributing to the fact that Hispanics are now in the majority in the Congressional District of Charles Rangel.

I'm hoping to see Dave Cox upset GOPe candidate Scott Tipton in the 3rd Congressional District!

I would very much like to see, with so many subjects leaning to one side,
the congressional district of Charles Rangle tip over.

Blacks are in the process of losing their Most Favored Minority status.

And they have no one to blame but themselves.

A little open borders karma coming back to bite Rangel in the arse.

The voters though can just call Rangel “Ran Hel” and keep voting for him.
