See Eric Cantor in happier times in this goofy trailer for his "Young Guns" book

In September 2010, as House Republicans seemed headed toward midterm triumph, Cantor and of his colleagues — Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan — co-wrote a book called "Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leadership." They made this trailer for the book.
