So Cantor's out, short of a successful write-in campaign.
This represents an enormous opportunity for Democrats. Both for control of the House and down the ballot as well. Why? Because over the next several months Republicans will be having their very own, old-white-man political version of Game of Thrones due to the power vacuum Cantor's departure has created.
This will be a huge distraction for the very power brokers who would otherwise have their attention and money directed at the midterms. Now they will be at each other's throats instead.
Democrats need to step on the gas.
