Is Eric Cantor the leader of house republicans?

I thought John Boehner was chosen speaker of the house.

Update:

thanks for those 8 answers so far.

It seems like Eric Cantor is the sheriff of republicans and John Bohener is just Eric Cantor's shy deputy under Cantor's command.

    No. They are leaderless. I would make a comment about "herding cats", but since I somehow ended up with 11 cats, I have found that cats are much easier to herd than to get Republicans to make any consistent kind of sense. ∠°)

    He thinks he is, but John Boehner has the the title of Speaker of the House.

    It looks like there will be a Civil War in the Republican Party as the election draws near.

    He is Majority Leader but Boehner is the Speaker of the House which is the highest ranking position for whatever party is the majority. So Cantor has some clout but not as much as Boehner who is the ranking member of his party. So yeah, its a little misleading.

    Eric thinks the base will disagree w/ John if he gives on anything, but John is the leader and Eric use to wear tape on his eyeglasses.

    He thinks is, and wants John Boehner to be more Radical. Like the rest of the Tea Party.

    He would income in my opinion yet when default occurs Republicans will lose for years yet to go back. it is a totaly man made disaster. Even with out default this disaster has damage the business device by technique of the shortcoming of self belief in our political device.

    It doesn't really matter because either way it is a case of the blind and clueless leading the blind and clueless.
