For any of you who may have been worried about Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, he is going to be just fine. A few months after he lost the primary and he is already moving on to the corporate financial sector (despite having no background in finance or investment).

Is he related to the Eddie Cantor who was an entertainer in the early-mid twentieth century?

Well, I can't imagine a democrat in that position since all they know about money is how to steal it from others.

It doesn't really matter which party they belong to, the companies that they did plenty of favors for will make sure they do ok if they get voted out. Especially if they promise to help out with others still on the DC politics scene.

I think they should have to wear their corporate sponsors' logos the way NASCAR drivers do.

Nice way to try and start an argument, though.

Great idea. Danica Patrick for President!

When politicians like Cantor go to work for big business, it shows where their real interests were all along. I have yet to see a former politician - with the exception of Jimmy Carter - providing help for charitable organizations.
