Are you going to post in FAMD because I will if you don't? A Public Policy Polling (PPP) poll taken in Virginia's 7th CD on election night for Americans United for Change showed that: 72% of voters in Cantor's district support the bipartisan immigration reform legislation on the table in Washington right now to only 23% who are opposed. And this is an issue voters want to see action on. 84% think it's important for the US to fix its immigration system this year, including 57% who say it's 'very' important. Even among Republicans 58% say it's 'very' important, suggesting that some of the backlash against Cantor could be for a lack of action on the issue. huffingtonpost.com

You know, I agree with you about 90% of the time. But I think you got this one wrong. Brat, out tea partied Cantor. I think they just like Brat more than like Cantor. For a variety of reasons. You vote for who you like. First and foremost. This guy was a mirror reflection of them and had stature. They are a bit thin on stature, so when they can get it on their terms they like that. The also just didn't much like Cantor. And Cantor is a Jew. Brat is a Christian who also sold Jesus to them. << 72% of voters in Cantor's district support the bipartisan immigration reform legislation on the table in Washington right now to only 23% who are opposed.

The wing nuts would like to have folks believe that was the reason It appears as though it is just the opposite Cantor was dumped because he was recognized in his district as being nothing but an obstructionist If the Democrats read this right, they will have no trouble flipping that seat ..like most Americans, people in Cantors "old" district want action on immigration reform
