HANDS UP from EVERYONE who thought Cantor wouldn't play the "I did it MYYYYYYYYYYY way" card.

WASHINGTON -- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who lost his Republican primary last week in a surprise upset by economics professor Dave Brat, said Sunday he has no regrets about his campaign or time in office. Now, Cantor said, he just wants to move forward.

"I don't have any regrets, because I remain focused on the mission that I'm about," Cantor told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union."

Cantor will step down as majority leader at the end of July, and serve out the rest of his congressional term outside of a leadership role. He said on "State of the Union" that he had not yet determined what he will do next.

He did say, though, that he will vote for Brat in the upcoming general election.

hold up his pencil neck and pretend he's cool with it all.

Otherwise, he won't get that RNC or Lobbyist gig he needs to keep the cash flow rolling.
