Virginia Republicans who gathered at their annual meeting in Richmond over the weekend were intended to be over-awed at the inevitability of Ed Gillespie’s bid for the party’s gubernatorial nomination.
Impressive as the S.S. Gillespie may have been, the more interesting news – or, more accurate, rumor – is that former House majority leader Eric Cantor may be assembling a team to make a run at the party’s 2018 Senate nomination.

Cantor, if we recall, was soundly defeated in the 2014 Republican primary by Dave Brat, a little known economics professor from Randolph Macon University.
