Key issue here is the spread of the Cantor-for-VP drum beat --- Wisconsin?!

[MeanWestTexan]

Cantor Ping.

[Coldwater Creek]

McCain must choose someone with governing experience.

[null and void]

Cantor would certainly take most of the sting out of voting “for” McCain.

(Think about it: Do you even know anyone voting FOR McCain? I know scores of people voting AGAINST Obama, they’ll pull the McCain lever alright, but they aren’t voting FOR McCain.)

[null and void]

McCain must choose someone with governing experience.

Yeah. Because Obama certainly has an overwhelming advantage here, doesn't he?

[Oztrich Boy]

Probably can’t find an older one

[null and void]

George Burns?

[Retired Greyhound]

Great pick, especially when one considers the other folks McCain is vetting.

[MeanMachine]

William Miller Part II. Arizona Senator, Unknown Congressman, worked out so well for us in ‘64. Not to mention McCain doesn’t need to worry about pulling down Virginia, he can survive without it, he needs to pick off Ohio, Michigan, and/or Pennsylvania. What the hell does Cantor do that Portman doesn’t do better? Most crucially, we need him in the House.

Obama/Bayh = Bye Obama!

[Dubh_Ghlase]

You mean that Charlie Crist (Gov-FL) is getting married for nothing?

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

McCain courts younger running mate

This headline doesn't rule out anybody but Bob Dole, so far as I can tell. Maybe it is a hint he's looking to Fred Thompson!

The left is doing anything and everything they can to pick our Veep nominee, as they did our POTUS nominee.

The question is, will we fall in line with it, like we did with McManiac?

[papasmurf]

Real {yawn} inspiring guy.

[trisham]

It is true that Cantor is a virtual unknown nationally.

*******************

Sorry. This would be a bad choice for McCain. And "virtual" unknown is putting the most positive possible face on it. He *is* unknown.

[MeanWestTexan]

“Governing experience” -— like Jimma Carter, Clinton, or Romney? LOL.

Sorry, liberal governing is no “experience” at all.

[MeanWestTexan]

“The left is doing anything and everything they can to pick our Veep nominee”

I’ve seen that, too. They’ve been pushing the lifetime liberals Romney and Ridge. Talk about a joke.

[mrmargaritaville]

hey John-court the young, and HOT running mate-Sarah Palin

[KavMan]

Just go for it and do Palin or Jindal.
