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.”
