Thanks for the post.

IIRC Cantor's in a pretty safe seat. So this guy is just a sacrificial candidate, probably one who is only running to further inflate his ego and to force Cantor to spend a little more money than he otherwise would.

I had a college professor, Liberal Dem (but I repeat myself), who had run a few cycles before against a very much beloved Republican incumbent. Mainly just because he wanted to, and fundamentally believed that democracy required that there be challengers to incumbents ... knowing full well he wasn't going to win.

The thing that really struck me about his description of it was just how pressured by the Dem Party apparatus he was to go personally, and deeply, in debt in order to finance his campaign. Taking out a 2nd mortgage on his house, etc. The Dem powers-that-be were very ugly over his refusal to do so.

My take-away from that was that a major Dem strategy is to get as much money as possible into every race possible in order to force Republicans to spend money that can better be spent on more competitive races.

Finally! A DemRat coming out and being who he really is. Not hiding behind some stupid moderate or "New" Democrat façade.
