Wonderful. Looks like some Tea Party groups have found yet another embarrassment to run as the "true conservative"
And let me guess, if he doesn't win the primary, they'll root for the Democrat to defeat Cantor in November so it "teaches the GOP a lesson"
See my comment upthread #37.
Brat leans more libertarian but he has a solid moral foundation. So far, he has not committed many major faux pas and his positions are consistent and to the right of Eric owned-and-operated-by-the-US-Chamber Cantor.
There is, in essence, no November election since the Dems failed to field a candidate by the deadline. THIS IS KEY to unseating Cantor. The argument that Cantor is the only one who can win against a Dem is OFF THE TABLE!! It’s crunch time and Cantor is vulnerable.
Haha "If". Well I'll say this, compared to Matt Bevin and Boner's "opponents" I guess Brat is a towering figure. I wish there was this much fever to to elect Bryan Smith over the increasingly moderate Mike Simpson in Idaho. But of course Simpson isn't the all important party leader and Smith had a real chance to win so it would be silly for me to expect anyone to be interested in that when playing Don Quixote is so much more fun. "Headhunting" party leaders with poorly funded unknown challengers, ignoring far less conservative and beatable douchebags like Simpson and Walter Jones, smart politics!
To be fair to Brat, his service on the "Joint Advisory Board of Economists" (they do economic forecasts supposedly non partisanly) while Kaine was Governor doesn't appear to be malicious.
He might be a Paulbot though.
