>> i think maybe they overestimated the power of the kind of republican that would go out and vote for eric cantor. in a primary that people aren't used to being a part of in his district. primaries aren't common in his district. i know it sounds like we are getting into the weeds here but weeds matter in grass roots politics. particularly on this story. i described a little bit perhaps how overconfident the cantor people were. that clearly translated into what you got to do on election day. which is get your voters out. and they clearly didn't do that enough. and that is absolutely critical. another just anecdote i will tell you is that i'm told that the chamber of commerce, which is a big establishment group so to speak, that has gone in to help incumbents, they went to the cantor people and said, do you need us, and they were waved off by the cantor people.
