Eric Cantor to step down as House Majority Leader
(CNN) - Rep. Eric Cantor is expected to relinquish his leadership position as the No. 2 House Republican after losing his Virginia primary in a stunning upset, a senior GOP source tells CNN's Dana Bash.
Cantor is expected to step aside as majority leader on July 31. The decision sets up a leadership scramble among Republicans in the House, which is led by Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.

Good!!!!! Can't get out fast enough you evil weasel!!!!!
Good riddance!
Why not finish out the year? Is the post going to be vacant until a new House is sworn in?
Good call. Time to get someone in there with some thick skin and rough edges.
Adious. You won't be missed.
A moment of silence. Nah, let's party!!!!!

Have you SEEN Mr. Brat? Ain't no thick skin or rough edges ANYWHERE on that man.
I'm just wondering how it feels to fail at their #1 goal to make the POTUS a one term POTUS and then turn around and lose your own cushy job???
It's called Karma baby!
well gee this just breaks my heart! I wonder if the new guy is as snarkey with a name like brat probably so. Hope the repos are in a mess. Vote them all out
So we won't have to look at this caricture (looks like he was drawn by the animators of the Heavy Metal movie) anymore... that condescending sneer, his incessant and annoying habit of never answering a straight question, the constant lying, backstabbing, and a complete and utter inability to lead or represent anyone but himself.
I won't miss him. Good riddance.
His replacement is probably much worse in regards to his likability quotient, but with his spouting crazy nonsense, running around naked, or even punching a baby.... he will have to wait his turn for the cameras because they already have a House full of worthless, do nothing lunatics up there.
He'll blend.
