Primary Season - and the Livin' is Sleazy


Some of us think that Eric Cantor is pretty conservative, but we've just been told we are wrong. 

Eric Cantor did not expect that
He would fall in primary combat;
The majority leader
Became election conceder
Brought down by a little known Brat.

His district is "safe" so no one needed to move toward the center.

The district has been gerrymandered
And the Tea Party candidate pandered
Appealed to a fringe
And moderates cringe
As Virginia has now been deCantored.

So how did an unknown with very little money manage to beat a powerful incumbent with plenty of cash to spend on his campaign?

Brat thanked  Ingraham for the support that she
Gave him in his stunning victory
But turnout was light
In reality he might
Also credit voter apathy.
