A conservative challenger is expected to fall far short of defeating House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) in Tuesday’s congressional primary.

"The question in this race is how large Cantor’s margin of victory will be. If he wins by more than 20 points, it will likely quell rumblings about his popularity back home. If Brat falls within 10 points of the seven-term congressman, it could stoke them." And option 3? Inconceivable, eh?

YEAH BABY!!!! Hey Cantor can you hear us now?

Brat has a seemingly insurmountable lead. This is unprecedented!
History-freeps, when was the last time a majority leader in the House was toppled in a primary?

Would this loss prevent amnesty from going forward before the 2014 November elections?

Well, not exactly. De facto amnesty is taking place right at this moment. The Soros Administration is bringing in the diseased alien hordes and housing them in our military bases.
