TODAY'S BIG NUGGET: Extraordinary Upset in Virginia: Cantor Loses!

Virginia Primary Results: Eric Cantor Stunned By Tea Party Challenger Dave Brat In Massive Upset from the Huffington Post
"House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was defeated Tuesday by a little-known economics professor in Virginia's Republican primary, a stunning upset and major victory for the tea party. Cantor is the second-most powerful member of the U.S. House and was seen by some as a possible successor to the House speaker."
This is HUGE.  Where's all that clucking about the demise of the Tea Party and how the "Establishment" is ascendant?  Maybe not.
