Brit Hume speculates that the power of talk radio may have been a big help against Eric Cantor’s big money advantage, helping propel Dave Brat to victory:

“There are parts of this country where if Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter and Mark Levin are on the radio supporting you, that’s worth a lot! In fact if somebody said would you rather have Freedomworks behind you or would you rather have any of those three radio talk show hosts in there plugging for you day by day, I think I know what my choice would be.”
