Eric Cantor to become House Majority Leader

Eric Cantor is moving ahead into the next phase of his life. The newly elected Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives is the first Virginian even to attain that position, as noted by Tyler Whitley in today's Richmond Times-Dispatch:

Mr. Cantor goes to Washington on Wednesday as the first Virginia congressman to become the House majority leader, the first Jewish majority leader and one of the youngest members of Congress to hold the post.
