In this district? There is no doubt. At least that is what I thought yesterday.
Brat was on MSNBC today and when asked about the min wage he went into a long and eventually faulty rant about how he had all these graphs and figures that showed the min wage was right there with the end of the world. It was like watching someone go from a rational premise to Cloud Coo-koo Land, and with this guy that's a pretty short walk.
When he was asked about arming rebels in Syria he just refused to answer the question, said he would be glad to answer any questions, and then said he was happy he won. He was better at dodging the question that Palin could have on her best day, but he was still dodging. And he never did give an answer because it was clear he had nothing to say. Hopefully the Republican Party will get the guy a debate coach soon because it is clear he needs one.
There are few Democrats in that district. It was cut-up by the lawmakers in Virginia to give Cantor a safe seat and reflected his views. As the views of Brat come out the voters might decide to lay this one out or independents might go Dem.
This will be interesting to watch.
