Here’s but one example in Eric Cantor’s own words:

“The Republican Party in its root is a party of inclusion and we ought to be promoting that and making sure that voices are heard.”

Ditto his defense of Olympia Snowe.

Others can likely speak to this better than I. Although I own property in his district (Glen Allen, VA) and lived there for years, I now, thankfully, live in TX-7 (John Culberson). I think Scope may live in Cantor’s district — I believe she has expressed some of this same frustration.

While Cantor has proven an effective whip (exception: Cao), he appears to be coming down with a terminal case of Potomac Fever. He’s hardly alone in that, but I’m just plain sick of Republicans who give lip service to conservative values until they get admitted to the Congressional Club.

Rampant elitism is irritating, whether from the Left or Right.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I told Cuccinelli at a rally on Monday that we at Redstate think he is a rock star!!! This man is going places, but, not yet, we in Virginia need him to clean up the Democrats mess first. Then we will share him with the nation.

Didn’t read this in time and didn’t intend to pile on.

But “serious” doubts for Cantor? Not _yet_ IMO.

Let’s agree to keep an eye on both shall we? Or everybody for that matter.

…was for the AG post. McDonnell won by….

323 votes.

Multiply that by 100,000 and you have the margin of victory tonight.

Gee – what’s different?

and one I much prefer to Cantor, about whom I harbor serious doubts.

Still, it’s good my birth state came to its senses, if only for today.

That is great news. Cucinnelli is indeed a plus.

I have had the flu….it’s no fun. Not what you think of as the flu, and it hurts.
Sleep – lots. Take vitamin D, and if it goes beyond your nasal passages and
into your chest – go to the Doctor and get some antibiotics and Tamaflu. Mine never went into my chest. Just cough from nasal drainage.

Take care of yourself, and God Bless You.

Perfect.

I know he had the wind at his back. I know NY-23 is more sexy, Bu B.M. is probably more important. He pulled the conservative pieces together and ran a campaign that united all wings of the GOP and even influenced NoVa. He had hard core “socon” history too. But he won them all. That campaign needs a diary.

I have been fighting the flu all day (be warned, you actually cough your lungs out of your body) or I would have commented more. It is great to see a Republican sweep, but my real hero in this is Cuccinnelli. He is the true conservative bell weather. I have heard he is hoping to go after federal”low-hanging fruit” like czar created regs on the state (as unconstitutional), Congressional mandates (as unConstitutional), etc. I can only hope like crazy, but I am happy tonight.

And Rod, we do have alot of Virginians on this site. We have a historical duty to do our part as our forefathers did ;o)

Hollin Hall precinct is heavy Dem. just over 1000 votes cast. McDonnell lost by only 27 votes. This is AMAZING for a district with a colony of hard core socialists and communists.

200 vote margin. Oh, happy day, The democrats dumped a whole heck of funds in VA-51 to defeat a man that went door to door stumping. Congratulations, Rich don’t let them steal it.

who did not vote in the election this year? Who in PWC failed to get their butts to the polling place?

My comment went to how well he responded to Chris Mathews with grace and humor, not how he stands on any of the issues. He’s not my Congresscritter and I really haven’t taken the time to study him or his stances on issues I care about. If you say that there are people in his district that have issues with him on the issues and you live there, that’s fine I’ve got no dog in that fight.
