For Nov. 5th through Jan. 1st ?? Why not just man up & serve the term out?
First, the election has to be certified. Then, Boehner has to swear him in and seat him. The election won't be certified for at least two weeks.
I agree about Cantor serving out his term. What is he afraid of? Is he afraid that if he had to vote on something controversial that it would taint him for the future?
Is he hoping that they can get a stooge in the seat to vote for the "hard" stuff?
And what's to stop Dave Brat from running for the special election to be seated immediately? Brat could make a perfect argument for sending him to Congress early given that he already won the seat. Wouldn't that be an ironic turnabout?
