Eric Cantor fans try to spin his loss - Democrats jump into the election and ousted him.
Is that helping?
If 10,000 Democrats voted in the primary and all voted for Dave Brat, then Cantor barely won among Republicans.
It still means a pathetic performance for Cantor.
They look to the 2012 Virginia presidential primary, where only 28 percent of the voters in the Cantor-Brat contest participated.
But only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul were on that primary ballot. Not a great incentive for voters to head out.
Cantor lost for many reasons. If Democratic voters had a part, it was the hammer to put a wounded candidate out of his misery.
He didn't have enough Republican support to withstand Brat's challenge.
