election day, not here in the district until very late. as recently as two weeks ago on the second saturday before this primary election, i ran into eric cantor at a social event in bethesda, maryland, on saturday night. again, not in the district, not paying attention, not knowing what was going on here. this is a real wake-up call for him and for a lot of other politicians because again and again and again and again in national politics when it comes to senators and members of congress, they get in trouble in the primaries when they get in trouble in the general election, it's because of inattention to what is going on at home. so that's a big problem for him. i'm right now outside of dave brat's office here in virginia waiting to see him. it's been a real wake-up call for him and his staff of course. we were in there just a few minutes ago running around the phones constantly ringing.
