“Who wants to bet lesson not learned?”
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor began saying his goodbyes Wednesday, less than 24 hours after he was unseated by his tea party opponent in Virginia’s 7th District primary.
“While I may have had a — suffered a personal setback last night, I couldn’t be more optimistic about the future of this country,” he said at a press conference Wednesday.

Campaigning for Cantor’s job has already begun: Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., the majority whip, began lining up support from committee chairs Wednesday. Perhaps most importantly, he has the support of Cantor, who threw his weight behind McCarthy at the press conference.
“I think he’d make an outstanding majority leader,” Cantor said. “I will be backing him with my full support.”

Members said House Speaker John Boehner sounded like he was choking up while he spoke about the history he shared with his top lieutenant.
“This is a speech I never expected to give,” he said. “I want to start by offering a heartfelt thanks to Eric and his staff for their service to our conference, our institution and our country.”
Quoting Winston Churchill, Boehner advised Cantor to have ‘the courage to continue.”
“He was held in high regard as a leader, so we’re feeling the pain,” said Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., his eyes red.
“A lot of tears. I’ve never seen such grace in all of my life,” said Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., fighting back tears. “He is doing the right thing for the conference.”
“He wants to keep us all united and I just think he is doing a fabulous job and he is going to do well into the future and we all stand behind him.”
Not me, after reading that it’s clear they haven’t learned anything.
