Brat's victory is another tea party blockbuster, reminiscent of its banner year in 2010 when those conservatives swept Republicans to control of the House.

Brat, who predicted a shocker on Tuesday, is an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College outside Richmond as his Democratic opponent in November, Jack Trammell. Trammell was nominated at a party convention.

With just over $200,000, David Brat, a professor at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va., toppled Mr. Cantor, repeatedly criticizing him for being soft on immigration and contending that he supported what critics call amnesty for immigrants in the country illegally. Mr. Brat will face Jack Trammell, a Democrat who is also a professor at Randolph-Macon, this fall in the heavily Republican district.

Trammell is a sociology professor...

Now what are the chances of two professors from the great Randolph-Macon colleges attracting national attention...

your hope for jeb bush running in 2016 is dashed if this is a sign of things to come in other places. he called illegal immigrants making it across the border an act of love (to unite with their partners and children who may already be here).  that sort of discourse gets you canned.

palin/cruz or cruz/palin 2016.

coming to 2016, Christie should be more likely to win the Republican nomination than Ted Cruz or Rand Paul. Certainly, he's a far stronger general election candidate as well. We'll find out if Republican primary voters follow their heads or their hearts.
In the end, a Chris Christie presidency might not be as destructive to our country as the alternatives.

who are you banking on? Hillary jokeass Clinton? you kidding me?

I think so too. Americans like change, especially after 8 years.

change for change's sake can be an egregious mistake like we found out with dubya. jeb bush cannot hold a candle to hillary clinton who IMO is the best prepared presidential candidate in the history of the US.  jeb is merely more intelligent and saner than his brother.  that is hardly sufficient qualification to be president.  when you compare him against the alternative, there is no contest.

Contest/no contest; qualified/more qualified; smart/smarter all these dont count.

Jeb has already won the 2016 elections - so says the Saamiyaar.

just because you mindlessly repeat something doesn't make it true. i doubt jeb will even make it past the primaries in the current political environment in the GOP.
