Out with the crony capitalists who make up the bulk of Democrats and Republicans in Washington!Don't celebrate too early. This was only a local upset in Cantor's district. Voters in that district are pretty conservative and they obviously didn't believe Cantor was conservative enough for them, especially where granting amnesty to illegal immigrants are concerned.
The fact that other Republican incumbents won their pimaries shows that this isn't a national trend, otherwise democratic incumbents would have to worry as well, at least not until the mid-terms.
Got some news for ya: Virginia doesn't require you to register a party affiliation, and Democrats can vote in Republican primaries. And Democrats love helping unelectable Tea Party lunatics defeat established Republicans. It has a habit of opening up otherwise unassailable territory.
