The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

[badgate]

I doubt he'd win a write-in campaign.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Up to 75% now in VA-07, Brat still holding at 56-44. No call yet though.

41% in VA-08, Beyer ahead of Hope 43-23. This one not called either.

nothing significant yet from SC.

Maine polls closing right now.

Brat will only face two third party opponents in November. No dem candidate.

An election between two professors at the same school, that's certainly interesting.

[MalaspinaGold]

Professor Jack Trammell is running as the democrat, per kos.

EDIT: Someone got to it before me.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Brat could lose in November I suppose, really depends on how good of a candidate Trammell actually is and how bad of a candidate Brat is. Definitely Likely R to start.

[RogueBeaver]

AP calls it for Brat. Wow.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

80% in, still 56-44, and Politico now calls it for Brat.

I must say I am truly surprised. The Tea party is not dead...at least not in VA.

In SC, Graham is at 64%. Only 0.7% in though.

[Maxwell]

Politico calls it for Brat in an upset.

And Cantor's district is R+10, so you can forget about any sort of Democratic pick-up.

[ElectionsGuy]

Can't wait for the concession speech.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Can't wait for the concession speech.

There may be quite the wait for that. I could see Cantor pulling a Romney and not writing such a speech until the projection was actually made (which was about 5 minutes ago), in which case we have to wait for Cantor to actually write the speech before we can hear it.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Politico calls it for Brat in an upset.

And Cantor's district is R+10, so you can forget about any sort of Democratic pick-up.

Who cares?  Cantor lost

[LeBron]

While the Tea Party lucked out in Virginia, that's not looking to be the same in South Carolina.

The early vote leads in SC-Sen (G) have Graham leading the pack with 65% to Bright's 14% and Cash is pulling third. In the Democratic primary, luckily, Sen. Hutto is easily winning there over Jay Stamper - the same guy who made websites of Ohio legislators that directed people to cooking methods of turning breast milk into cheese.

SC-Sen (S), unfortunately, Tea Party darling and Haley-appointee Sen. Tim Scott (R) is easily winning his primary over his little known challenger. Joyce Dickerson is the favorite to win the Democratic nomination.

And MSNBC has officially projected Cantor to lose his House seat tonight!!! Obviously we shouldn't try and defeat Brat in the general because there's little to no chance, but wow. Just wow. Putting immigration reform into the House's agenda was the biggest mistake Cantor ever made and this is by far the biggest upset we'll have this year in the 2014 midterms. #CantorforSenate2018, perhaps?

Why couldn't Cantor be Boehner though?  

[IceSpear]

This makes things very, very interesting if Boehner does in fact not run for re-election for Speaker or is toppled by a coup. Cantor seemed like the obvious choice to replace him before, but will the House GOPers rally around McCarthy?

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

Wow. I think that's the only word to describe what just happened.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

So far so good for Graham. Up to 8% now, he's at 63%. Bright in second at 11%.

Hutto leading Stamper 73-27 for the dems with 10% in.

Shaheen and Haley win the gubernatorial nominations unopposed.

8% for SC Senate Special. Dickerson leads Moore 69-21 for the democrats. Scott wins the republican nomination 91-9 over Young!

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

And I think Paul Ryan (should he not run in 2016) would be a more logical choice for Speaker or Cathy McMorris Rodgers.

[DrScholl]

Politico calls it for Brat in an upset.

And Cantor's district is R+10, so you can forget about any sort of Democratic pick-up.

No one said there was a possibility. Your majority leader lost, that is the story.

[Keystone Phil]

You know Boehner is definitely not seeking re-election as Speaker. That's pretty much crystal clear now.

[Suburbia]

McMorris Rodgers and McCarthy is seen as "meh", maybe Kansas's Lynn Jenkins or Illinois' Peter Roskam.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

For SC Lt. Gov., Sellers wins the Dem. Nomination unopposed. With 9% in, McMaster is leading for the GOP nomination, 42 to 27% over McKinney. Campbell at 24%.

All Gubernatorial and Senate Nominations for ME were won unopposed. (Michaud, Lepage, Cutler for Gov. ; Bellows and Collins for Sen. )

Pingree (D) and Misiuk (R) win the ME-01 primaries unopposed.

Nothing significant yet for ME-02.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

VA-08 is called for Beyer, who leads Hope 45-20 with 68% in! Ebbin in 3rd at 15%.

[free my dawg]

Ding, dong, the witch is dead.

[Beet]

Am I the only Democrat who's not happy about this? Reason and moderation lost, the Tea Party is back. Ugh.

[Vosem]

No. Way.

[IceSpear]

Am I the only Democrat who's not happy about this? Reason and moderation lost, the Tea Party is back. Ugh.

Cantor isn't reasonable, or a moderate...
