Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), a leader among House Republicans and a potential national candidate in 2012, just finished telling the crowd at Bob McDonnell's victory party in Virginia that the GOP's clean sweep of statewide offices tonight signals the beginning of a new era for Republicans across the country.
"Tonight's great victories show we the people are fed up with the Obama, Pelosi, Kaine agenda," he told a cheering crowd.
"Thank you for supporting freedom," he added at the end of his remarks. "Because of you, the Republican resurgence begins here in Virginia."

Really? That's not the way I see it eric. Last time I checked repukes are trying to take away our freedoms, especially freedom from illness and our rights to privacy from government intrusion in our private lives. The repuke marketing machine in action.

More of the "real America, real Virginia" divisiveness that played so well for Palin and George Allen. As a Virginia I just emailed Cantor's office to say how disgusted I was with his insinuation that 40 percent of the electorate is "against" freedom.
