JOBS BILL: Let's vote on it, House

Why won't Eric Cantor, House Republican majority leader, bring President Obama's jobs bill to a vote? Either he's afraid it will pass and that would be bad for his party, or he's afraid it won't pass but all the good ideas in it will get a lot of media coverage. And that would be bad for his party. There's too much at stake right now to put party politics above substance. Bring the jobs bill to a vote.
