Almost 2.5 years is a long time, but Hillary's inevitability has taken some major hits the last week or so.

The lobbyists are probably already lining-up to offer Cantor 7-figures.

lol, gosh a ruddies that is not the end. If it was Richard Mourdock, Christine O' Donnell, Sharon Angle, Todd Akiband Joe Miller would be in the US Senate today. Thanks for defeating a Republican who could win in a general election in his district. And defeating based on his supposed support for immigration reform, should really help the party with Hispanics. Demography is destiny.

It is nice to see a party rid itself of outliers/fakes; I wonder when the democrat party which has been completely hijacked by marxists, i.e. progressives, and other collectivists, will do its purging. NEVER, apparently.

Tonight's defeat of Cantor might have literally inaugurated Hillary.

Immigration reform is absolutely dead now as Cantor's support for it is seen as a primary reason for his loss. The establishment is going to be running scared, and Boehner will never bring an immigration bill to the floor now.

The Democrats will use this to fire up the Latinos like never before like they did with Willard's self-deport comment, and the GOP can't win on white people alone in a national election.

The House will be almost ungovernable over the next 2 years because of what happened tonight.

I wouldn't buy into that meme just yet....Lyndsey Graham, after all, defeated his TEA Party challengers convincingly...and he CO-SPONSORED the amnesty bill.

While it's interesting that someone of such a high rank got dinged in the primary, there's really no evidence that it's going to have any far-reaching effects. Cantor peaked in 2009, and has been on a downward slide since. He lost because he lost touch with the voters in his district.

There really isn't any more to it than that.

Turned on the tv this morning and I heard someone on the today show say, "Hillary has taken a lot of criticism, the main one being she hasn't really done anything as Secretary of State. But asked how she would grade herself as SS, Hillary said an A."

Lol turned it immediately.

Correct, and he probably was getting comfortable being a caretaker instead of fighting to get back to what made this country great in the first place. Brat favors free markets and much less centralized government. Since many people (at least most republicans and high information voters) are realizing that every federal government program is basically a failure, it is understandable how Brat won.

You are talking to iQQy the Doomsayer, you know? If it isn't doom and gloom, it isn't worth typing about in his mind.

Unless the GOP finds an effective front runner by the end of December '14 (and that seems extremely unlikely at this point)...get ready for another Clinton WH.

I hope you're wrong, but I think you are right. The republicans haven't had a decent candidate since 1992. The Clinton Machine is formidable and will wipe out any of these religious nut jobs. The GOP better get itself moving.

I'm a little surprised by the media scrutiny of Hillary, even at this early stage (still plenty of time to circle the wagons). She doesn't remotely look like the inevitable candidate she did a month ago.

It's almost like some invisible puppet master is pulling strings to set-up an Elizabeth Warren run. I think Schweitzer could be really, really interesting. He's pretty charismatic, especially compared to Robillary...the question is can a moderate win a primary?

I think Hillary is starting to look beatable. Schweitzer would not be, because he takes away too many wedge issues from Repubs.

You don't even have to go to church anymore. Just a simple admission that you're Christian qualifies you as a religious nut job from the enlightened, open-minded, and and tolerant left.

Watching Hilary's interviews pimping her crappy book this week has been downright painful. Me thinks her fan club has been too caught up in the coronation prep to remember that she is, in fact, an incredibly inept campaigner.

Nothing that the lamestream media won't gloss over when the 2016 campaign is in full gear.
