Club for Growth is a reputable organization. Their endorsement may not mean much if your key issue is abortion (check NARL or Dr. Dobson's ratings for that), nor may it mean much if your key issue is the 2nd amendment (check the NRA or Brady's ratings for that), but it means a lot to economic conservatives.

For me, it is also a deal breaker. Anyone who can't pass muster with CFG is not a viable candidate.

Only two tests remain for me to declare Eric Cantor a great choice:

1. McCain actually has to select him.
   
2. His selection has to bring out howls and jeers among the moonbats, maybe not right away, but once he becomes a known quantity.

Your #2 test has been met already. That leaves #1......

Here is how they describe themselves:

Club for Growth is a national network of thousands of Americans, from all walks of life, who believe that prosperity and opportunity come through economic freedom. We work to promote public policies that promote economic growth primarily through legislative involvement, issue advocacy, research, training and educational activity.

The primary tactic of the separate Club for Growth PAC is to provide financial support from Club members to viable pro-growth candidates to Congress, particularly in Republican primaries.

Club for Growth Policy Goals:

Making the Bush tax cuts permanent
Death tax repeal
Cutting and limiting government spending
Social Security reform with personal retirement accounts
Expanding free trade
Legal reform to end abusive lawsuits
Replacing the current tax code
School choice
Regulatory reform and deregulation

Sounds good to me.
