"Cantor's concession speech did not mention Dave once," Brat's campaign manager Zach Werrell noted to Breitbart News.

who cares? i think it's petty to even mention it... i would act like i didn't even notice because i have bigger fish to fry than to spend one second giving thought to my opponent's concession speech... i would just be about the people's business...

The clip of Cantor I saw sounded OK...I did not know he did not mention Dave Brat even once. The main issues at this point are whether he will support or undermine Brat in the general election, and whether he will step aside as Majority Leader and let a better person take over.

Reportedly he spent $5 million to Brat's $100,000. If correct that is a 50-1 ratio.

With regard to Cantor not mentioning Brat in his concession speech, you wrote: who cares? i think it's petty to even mention it... i would act like i didn't even notice because i have bigger fish to fry than to spend one second giving thought to my opponent's concession speech... i would just be about the people's business...

It isn't a matter of whether Brat feels personally offended or doesn't have better things to do. Cantor's snub puts the lie to every single RINO and GOP-e supporter who harp on so-called "purist conservatives" that we must "unite behind the winner" and "defeat the real enemy" (presumably Democrats). If Cantor had won, you can bet it would be the first complaint from his side if Brat a) didn't congratulate him and b) didn't immediately tell his supporters to get behind Cantor in the general. There would be FReepers doing it too -- oh, c'mon guys, the primary was hard fought and your guy lost, now we have to hold our noses blah blah blah.

Cantor is an ass for this slight and represents just one of the myriad problems with the GOP-e.
