ERIC CANTOR *LOSES* PRIMARY!!!

[Never]

I actually came across impressed with the guy from his interview on Hannity.  For a Teabagger, he doesn't sound too dumb and seems to be more of a serious issues guy rather than simply a mouthbreathing Neanderthal racist like Louie Gohmert.  

I'd rather have a far right economics professor than a far right lawyer coming out of far right districts.

He does seem reasonable. I read a transcript of that interview, and he appears to be informed. I'm inclined to claim that Brat is probably a solid conservative, not an extremist.

Interesting that Cantor focused on helping and empowering the "working middle class families"/compassionate conservatism in his concession speech.

Cantor for Senate? I'm just joking.

The GOP is showing more signs that it is turning into a white nationalist party. The first thing the Nazis did was remove Jews from the political scene.

The man is stammering about "equal treatment under the law" unconvincingly. Going on about princes in Washington when asked about Wall Street. This is on MSNBC. The guy is complaining about being asked policy questions when be thought he be asked about "the celebratory aspects" of the race. He's an amateur. Where'd he get his PhD from?

Brat got his PhD in Economics from American University in Washington, D.C.

You have day to day discussions with people. At school, work, in your home, friends, family. The consensus, even among Obama voters (many of whom have buyers remorse for the second term) they all can agree that they want Obamacare gone, or they hate the IRS, or Government spending is out of control, ect ect. However, there is a sense that no matter who wins the White House or Congress...nothing changes.

Yes, I heard a lot about this supposed buyers' remorse from Obama voters that was supposed to manifest in 2012. How did that turn out again?

For what it's worth, many people simply voted for Obama over Romney because they personally liked Obama more, which trumped their view that Romney was more aligned with their views on the issues. People wanted the candidate who they felt cared about them.

So, there wasn't necessarily buyers' remorse, but it seems that there were more complex undercurrents to why Obama defeated Romney, and why the President's support has weakened after his re-election.
