Judah Benjamin could have been the first Jewish Vice President, had he thought the position worth anything.
Haim Solamon (sp) could have as well.
Republicans are in a pickle this election season, McCain for better or worse has chosen (or been forced) to stick by his public funding of the campaign pledge, the same one The Obamao pledged to follow but later reneged on.
Meaning right now McCain can match Obamao dollar for dollar in ads, once he is the “official” Nominee, he is limited to about 92 million bucks to run ads from September to Nov 3.
INOW McCain 2008 needs funds to go to the RNC or to 527’s to try and at least keep pace with the Obamao’s money machine.
Eric Cantor could seriously help in that dept, the quite Dhimmicrat secret is, the “Jewish vote” is not only valuable at the polls, they contribute half the monies the Dhimmis typically receive.
If Cantor could help there, and draw some money into the McCain Campaign’s efforts one way or another, he has a value far beyond “the first fill in the blank” he could help to level the playing field.
