      - well, *now* they do, abviously, but it wasn't always that way I don't think. -- nm - znufrii Jun 10, 18:49 13
        
        He's not listed as a current or former member of the Tea Party Caucus, FWIW. -- nm - mara Jun 10, 18:51 6
        
        I could very well be misremembering - znufrii Jun 10, 18:54 5
        
        I've been trying to unearth older articles, with no luck, but this one from last fall does seem to be saying he previously had some Tea Party support. -- (link) - mara Jun 10, 18:58 2
        
        yeah, that article totally has the tone of a jilted TEA party lover. -- nm - znufrii Jun 10, 19:01 1
        
        I haven't followed Cantor closely, but my recollection is that he hasn't been coda. He's shown the willingness to be moderate/compromise at times. - ty97 Jun 10, 19:38
        
        Plus, you know..... not a Christian.... -- nm - mara Jun 10, 18:55 1

        Eventually, but he was one of the leaders of the no compromise brigade. -- nm - pmb Jun 10, 20:40
        
        link -- (link) - mara Jun 10, 18:55
        
        No way that he'll ever vote "Less Filling!" ever again - prayformojo Jun 10, 18:51
- Cantor's the majority leader, not the Whip. Or are you assuming McCarthy becomes the new majority leader and has to be replaced as Whip? -- nm - mara Jun 10, 18:29 1
  - I forget that speaker of the house and majority leader are different - eag Jun 10, 18:32

    - It is the actor from Dukes. -- nm - Reagen Jun 10, 19:47
  - I'm going to be so disappointed if he doesn't have a pitchfork and some sort of livestock in his congressional office -- nm - prayformojo Jun 10, 18:27
- I think it would be awesome if this were true but if they cannot even attract the interest to nominate a Democrat... - Imperator Jun 10, 18:21 3
  - No way it's true. And frankly, I think this Cantor loss, oddly, does a *disservice* to the political spectrum overall. - ty97 Jun 10, 18:26
  - Oh, hell. *I'll* do it! - prayformojo Jun 10, 18:26
  - Damn. This is the district where I should have run my write in campaign. -- nm - Dano Jun 10, 18:26
