"The Virginia Republican also drew flak for attending a tropical summit organized by a group working to undermine the Tea Party. ForAmerica President Brent Bozell described the move in a phone interview as providing "aid and comfort to an organization devoted to destroying the Tea Party."

If Cantor is the replacement why even bother?

Good question.  Cantor's more of a thinker, but that's not gonna be enough for me.  I'm not expecting a TEA-purist, but there has to be some TEA-inspired thought in picking the next rallyer

Problem is, Cantor is in charge of the purse, the guy whom decides who gets gets campaign funds.
I'm guessing no one has the backing to challenge him, it would take millions just to start.

No, not necessarily, you could move there and run for office.

I don't care what Boner tells his supporters - as long as he doesn't try to pass amnesty legislation.

Cantor is no shoe-in for the position. He's pissed off a lot of people.
