Maybe it’s wrong to read too much into this, but there’s been only one surprising upset in the Republican primaries and….
Eric Cantor is the only Jewish member of the GOP House caucus.

No Jewish Republican Senators either, btw.

And they’re mostly pissed about the Chamber of Commerce because THEY also want Immigration reform. Can’t have those people in the country, you know?
I do love that the Tea Partiers officially hate the Chamber of Commerce now. Let’s get some “Republicans in disarray” articles now. :)

Republicans here beat back two Tea Party challengers for the statehouse, but they all still think the Tea Party is good for R turnout in the general in a midterm and I tend to agree.
Voters said Cantor was “out of touch” and that’s a problem for both Republicans and Democrats, IMO. I hear “out of touch” more often than I hear any specific complaint. There’s a real populist shift on both sides, I think.
The Tea Party’s will be horrible and xenophobic but the Democrats need to address it, develop a liberal version, or conservatives will run away with the whole concept. I think it’s real.
