According to Cantor, his decision is timed so that Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) can call a special election to coincide with the regular Nov. 4 general election. “I want to make sure that the constituents in the 7th District will have a voice in what will be a very consequential lame-duck session,” he told the Times-Dispatch.

Awww, poor Eric. Butt hurt much?

I don’t understand the need for a special election. Are they going to undermine the nominee?

[Vince Ferrer]

This has to be some trick to hurt Brat. How can it do that?

[iowamark]

I’m gonna take my ball and go home! I didn’t wanna play with you anyway!

[Balding_Eagle]

I’ve give Cantor this, he’s is supporting Brat, the guy who defeated him.

Very rare among the GOPe.

How much is a half year of pay as a K St. whore lobbyist? (Sorry. I apologize to whores for the uncomplimentary comparison.)

[Red Steel]

$$ K-street is a calling.

It is about Cantor being an Asshole!

I think he’s going to ask (or maybe it will have to be done) McAuliffe, as gov, to have a special election in November. Presumably the same person wins both the regular and the special election and would take office immediately.

I imagine Cantor was clear on this before he tendered his resignation.

But what I really wanted to say was: this thread needs the “well bye” guy.

[MasterGunner01]

Cantor is resigning from Congress to take a very well paying job at a prestigious Washington lobbying firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. Once you’re bought, you stay bought, but you get better perks by moving on to the civilian sector. That’s were the serious money is.

Words of advice: Eric, don’t let the door hit you on your ass on the way out.

What a shi-thead. With a move like that, it is beyond obvious that he never cared one iota about the people that he was supposed to represent. He should be forced to serve out his term to the end - or lose that pension. If this is the way that the cry-baby-old-has-been-establishment-republicans are going to act, just get out now and save us all the time and expense of voting your asses out of office. Step aside and let someone who wants to truly represent people in a true representative republic.
