Those who tried to claim the Tea Party movement was dead received a shock Tuesday night, when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., lost his primary to challenger David Brat.

Cantor’s internal poll from last week had the incumbent up 34 points over Brat, but with 89 percent of precincts reporting, Cantor was down 44.52 percent to 55.48 percent, and news organizations projected Brat as the winner.
