“As of now, it also could mean another ugly battle over funding the government and a bruising federal debt-ceiling fight in March 2015. Yet this doesn’t signal a new anti-incumbent wave, at least not yet. So far this year, 26 states have held their primaries to determine the nominees for 257 House seats. Of the 229 incumbents running again, only Cantor and one other have lost. Meanwhile, the Democratic and Republican candidates for Cantor’s seat have a few things in common. Both have no previous political experience. And both are professors at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va., where they are teammates on a faculty basketball team.”
