Cantor loses primary in upset

Here's an electoral development that I just can't believe. But it's true, it's true, it's all true!

The Virginia primary was today, and as if powerful House Majority Leader Eric Cantor wasn't Tea Party enough, he had a Tea Party challenger in the Republican primary: some nobody by the name of Dave Brat. Well, the results are rolling in, and Brat has defeated Cantor in a stunner. A Daily Kos blogger calls it "one of the most shocking primary upsets of all time."

Brat is so extreme that this threatens the Republicans' grip on that seat - and it helps seal the Tea Party's hold on the GOP.

Never saw this one coming, did you?
