Eric Cantor

What a roller coaster ride. Here's a tweet from Chris Cillizza:

Eric Cantor will announce today he is stepping down as House Majority Leader effective July 31.

So, Eric Cantor says... 'eff you?  Any theories on why he's stepping down?  Other than... 'eff you - which is my deep, political insight. Meanwhile, David Brat can't answer basic policy questions.

This is stunning.  House Majority Leader Eric Cantor loses his primary?  (83% reporting: 56% Brat,  44% Cantor)  That's not even close!  I feel like I'm being punked! So much for all that "Moderates are back in charge of the Republican Party" and "The Tea Party has lost its power" talk. Did anyone see this coming?  Not me.  Oh wow.
