Did Democrats Put Him Over The Top?

A reader writes:

I live in the 7th District in Virginia, I am a Democrat and I voted for David Brat in the primary. It is an open primary. There has been a whisper campaign going on among the Democrats in the district for the last few weeks and it resulted in many democrats coming out to vote for Brat today. We felt especially encouraged after the 7th district committee nominated Jack Trammell to be the Democratic candidate for the seat last Sunday. We now feel we at least have a fair chance at winning it. By the way, Jack Trammell is a professor at the same small college as Brat, Randolph-Macon.

Well, not quite the Democrats of Mickey’s dreams, I guess.
