Beaten by Brat,
Cantor's gone... Like that!
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Oh-oh-oh!

(My apologies to The Ramones!)

1. Good times!

That smug smarmy vile republican't Cantor -- I hope he fades into the dimly remembered dark days of conservative lore.

I wouldn't be surprised a few Democrats crossed over and helped out Mr. Brat -- actually 'helped out' Cantor.

A very Ramone's Baseball Bat to Eric Cantor!

[LiberalEsto]

2. If Cantor got beaten by a Brat

is he now a Half-Smoke?

[pacalo]

3. The brat was beaten by another Brat.

[AnnieBW]

4. Time to Beat The Brat!

[MannyGoldstein]

6. The inspiration for the OP, of course.

Maybe someone should write a chorus... I'm feeling too lazy...

[Nye Bevan]

5. Why celebrate a district becoming even more right-wing? (nt)

[MannyGoldstein]

7. Cantor was evil and effective

His replacement is likely to be less effective.

I hope.

[Nye Bevan]

9. His beating Cantor will push all of the other Republicans to the right,

as they attempt to avoid the same fate. Perhaps next time around they really will be crazy enough to make the US default on the national debt.

I am not celebrating.

[MannyGoldstein]

10. Tea party nuts tend to lose in the general election

Because they're obviously nuts.

[Nye Bevan]

11. That would be nice, but this is a very Republican district.

I'm not sure a Dem is even running.

[MannyGoldstein]

12. We might lose that district... But I suspect this will blow up

the Republican Party.

[WillyT]

8. Cause... Something's Gotta Give...

And many of us do not like the status quo.
