Don’t sleep. In a district that’s 20 percent black, if they played their cards right, Democrats could turn Rep. Cantor’s primary loss into a general election win.
Pundits, prognosticators and backseat-driving know-it-alls are chatting up everything you need to know about House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-Va.) karma-driven primary loss Tuesday night, with politicos scrambling to understand David Brat: a once-puckish Tea Party upstart and Cantor twin with only $200,000 in the bank who managed to unseat the second most powerful cat in the House armed with $5 million plus.
But, the Spidey sense should buzz after those third-eye folks parse through Brat’s cleverly coded victory speech. The college professor wants to “… move the pendulum … back to the states, back to the localities” and push loaded stuff like raw constitutionalism with “free market and Judeo-Christian principles.”
Translated for a state that was once the Confederate capital, states’ rights nostalgia equals Voter-ID restrictions; Judeo-Christian principles means Bible-thumping; and free market sounds like predatory lending and sticking it to the working and middle class.
That’s reason enough that African-American voters in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District should and can try to win that seat back for Democrats.
Black voters are the decisive key to a general election upset that’s as tectonic-plate-shifting as Brat’s primary sucker punch. At the moment, though, the Dems seem satisfied to gleefully stomp on Cantor’s political grave. Stuck on conventional wisdom that’s similar to those “establishment” Republican rivals who got punked by Brat, Democratic strategists have already resigned Virginia’s 7th to its red-state faithful.
That would be a mistake, though, and a nasty face palm to a rather robust black Virginia electorate....

Didn’t we just find out that 40,000 people voted in both MD and VA in 2012?
The national divorce is overdue.
Ya, but I bet you don’t have a powdered whig?
Does this imbecile realize that the Democrats support the Black genocide that is aborting more Black babies than are born alive? Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, started the slaughter by declaring Blacks as “ undesirables” and that continues today.
What do they mean by Cantor twin? This guy is the complete opposite of Cantor the RINO.
Can you say Bull Shit?
If this were possible, they would have done it a long time ago. Cantor had seniority because Dems can’t win in this district.
Blacks need to support candidates that aren’t going to give all their jobs and freebies to illegal aliens.
He is the majority leader, which makes him the most powerful Virginian in Washington.

I didn't realize my goof until you pointed it out...
Establishment immigration and amnesty hurts the blacks as much or more than anyone, and they should know it. The elites that own the media and want to divide us will try and hide this. A media that is owned by a few instead of objective for the many is counter to a democracy.
Pathetic-—and a shoulder bag too.
This country has gone stark,raving mad.

When are these coming back?
Some black folks apparently are comitted to the Democrat plantation.
dat beard?
Da homo.
They can have the seat any day, FINE WITH ME.
The vote last night was ONLY about STOPPING AMNESTY.
But they still have a hell of a fight, and they’re probably not going to dump money into it.
