This one shocked me. I never saw it coming. But I’ve since read that Eric Cantor had an arrogant staff who ignored constituents and was rude to other Congressional staffers. Cantor himself didn’t pay attention to what was happening back home until the final weeks of the primary, than run heavy-handed negative ads which backfired.
The real tragedy is that Lindsay Graham will be returning to the Senate.
“All politics is local.”, right?
If true, then his office must have REALLY alienated the voters, ‘cause most of the pols (of any party) know not to piss off the “Janes and Joes”.
Graham: The opposition was too fractionated.
