Cantor had an opportunity to create a scandal BEFORE the election, but did not.

Everything was kept quiet until after the election.

Petraeus, after all, is a big Republican hero. I'm assuming Broadwell is a Republican, and I'm sure Kelly must be, since she's pals with the Petraeus family.

So it's Obama's administration, and his appointment of Petraeus. But it's Republicans who are involved in the scandal.

Maybe Cantor read 538 and thought this would damage a re-elected Prez? Pure speculation. nt s-cubed Nov 2012 #11
