House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) boldly predicted his party will retake control of the House of Representatives during an appearance Monday on CNBC.

"I think we're going to retake the House, as Mr. Gibbs suggested yesterday from the White House." Cantor said."That's going to change the dynamic for sure."

He later added: "When we regain the House, because I do think that we'll retake the majority, the president will have to deal with us."

Though he is angling to succeed Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as House speaker, House Minority Leader John Boehner's (R-Ohio) recent midterm predictions have been a bit more reserved than those of his lieutenant. In an interview last month with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) stopped short of pledging to take control of the House. Several days later, Boehner told The Post's Dan Balz that there is a "great opportunity" for the GOP in November, but the party will face an "uphill battle."

If a Democrat said what Cantor said, the corporate media would be running "Democrats are arrogant" stories 24/7. Heck, if it was Obama, they would restart the "Chosen One" commercials. But, Cantor is a Republican, so his statement is praised as being "bold."

3. I hear this a lot on the MSM and never hear that the GOP will be disappointed.

The media, including NPR, seems to be using the tactic of 'self fulfilling prophecy' journalism.

And if it becomes true it will validate the filibuster as the preferred response to every item of legislation, whether you agree with a bill or not.

6. Good. Scared Democrats will come out to vote and confident Rethugs will stay home.

4. Haw-haw. When has Cantor ever been right about anything?

:rofl:

5. Usual Republitard spew.

Truth is I would not want to be an incumbent of any party in this election.
