Cantor Countered

Chris Cillizza writes politics for The Washington Post, here he reports/analyzes Eric Cantor's primary defeat in Virginia. Cantor was beaten by a Tea Party candidate who nailed him for being soft on amnesty for illegal aliens.

Eric Cantor is the second ranking Republican in the House, Boehner's heir apparent. Beginning in January, he's a private citizen. How the mighty have fallen.

One thing is certain, only a House Republican with a death wish is going anywhere near immigration reform prior to the election. Ditto GOP senators, I imagine. The flood of illegal kids across our southern border isn't popular with the GOP base.
