I don't know anything in particular about how Virginia's House seats are situated, but Cantor was the minority leader, probably the most powerful Virginian in Washington.
If I were a betting man, I'd wager my house that his district has been carefully sculpted to make it VERY safe for Republicans.
Cantor just assumed the Republican had to be HIM.

Unless Brat has a closet full of live boys or dead girls, he should be a shoo-in.

Obama, got 42% of the vote. Warner however won the district. It should be pretty safe for Brat.
