Wayne Powell has a daunting task. A lawyer, businessman and 30-year Army intelligence vet, Powell is trying to take down one of the biggest bucks in the Republican Party in his first bid for elected office: Rep. Eric Cantor. Cantor’s 7th Congressional District is conservative, but polling has convinced Powell that Cantor is vulnerable. “The odds have been against me since the day I was born,” says Powell, who grew up in Richmond. He’s also got legendary and colorful Democratic strategist Mudcat Saunders on his team, which should scare any opponent. Powell tells Salon that Cantor is too beholden to corporate interests and too “self-absobed” to care about average folks.
Mudcat is working on a campaign in the 7th CD of Virginia, the seat currently held by Eric Cantor. The Democratic candidate that Saunders is supporting is Wayne Powell. Yes it would be an upset for a Leader in the House to be defeated, but anyone remember Tom Foley?
Said the United States is led by “a coin operated government” and Cantor “is the leader” and is “a bought-and-paid-for crook.”
Blamed “the do-nothing Congress” on Cantor.
Lamabasted the 12-term congressman as “one of the most unpatriotic human beings who ever walked in the commonwealth . . . he shorted U.S. Treasury bonds. He bet against the United States of America while he was majority leader.”
