I doubt he being a Jew played a part in his down fall.
Conservatives are the strongest supporters of Zionism/Israel
and some of their biggest money donors are Jewish.
From all reports Cantor was confident and neglected his home base.
It is felt that he probably could have overcome the Obama/immigration
association if he had spent more time in his constituency.
