did cantor set-up boehner? [View all]

cantor was actually on msnbc today saying "we have the votes"

did boehner rely on cantor to deliver the votes?

i can't imagine anything more embarrassing for a senator, let alone the speaker of the house,

than to have to pull your own bill for lack of votes.
