Biden only draws 140 in Rep. Cantor's district

Gateway Pundit has the story. Biden was sent down to beat up on Cantor for his criticism of the failed stimulus plan. He should have stayed home. He got a crowd that would embarrass a local official and gave Cantor an opportunity to slam the stimulus plan again top national reporters.

Cantor told the Washington Post:

...

At this afternoon's news conference, Cantor said that since the stimulus bill passed, unemployment had increased in Richmond, in Virginia and across the country.

"The president seems to be concerned about anything but creating jobs," he said. "Millions of jobs will be crushed by this administration's policies."

Cantor said he hoped Biden "takes some time to hear from job creators today and I know that if he listens he will hear them telling him to stop penalizing their small businesses."

Seeking to pre-empt Biden's planned remarks that tens of millions of dollars in stimulus money have saved teacher jobs in Chesterfield County and police officers in Richmond, Cantor said: "Where I'm looking is where families of Virginia and America are looking and that's at the unemployment rate, which is skyrocketing. The reality is that people are losing their jobs. Families are going into economic free-fall."

This demonstrates that the Chicago of challenging your opponent on his home turf does not work on a national scale. Biden is also hurt by defending a failed strategy of dealing with unemployment.
