2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: ERIC CANTOR can be DEFEATED! [View all]obxhead
(8,434 posts)23. That's something we need to look into.
While I don't rely heavily on polling, I would like to see some numbers.
Powell is the first serious contender Cantor has had. Previous attempts to dethrone Cantor have drawn at least 34%, but that was with literally no money at all. Powell is gaining serious traction and recognition here in VA's 7th. He also has a mini war chest of over 500k, which is more than 3 times any previous candidate.
Look for more posts on the Powell/Cantor from myself and elleng in the near future. There is a debate scheduled for OCT 1 that NEEDS national attention. This will be the FIRST debate Cantor has ever done, so he's obviously threatened by Powell in this election.
