I consider this a very, very good sign.

Man, I hope so. Cantor’s a rabid pit bull who’d make short work of Biden in any debate.

If he's named, he's a very good choice. A solid conservative and he would be the first Jewish GOP Veep!

Nice, Cantor is a rising star in the GOP, he is not as good as Jindal or Pallin simply because he is not a Governor, he is moving up the ladder though.

I like Cantor but it’s really not unusual that a practically unknown Congressman isn’t speaking.

He's my age and would provide a stark generational contrast to Biden. At 45, he'd be ready in case something happened to McCain. I can't think of a better pick if he's indeed going to be part of the GOP ticket.

A House member wouldn't be that unusual a pick. I don't think he has the gravitas of Dick Cheney but McCain doesn't need that. He needs to mend fences with conservative voters and he can't win without them.

Given that Cantor and Romney are headlining the Republican “shadow convention” right now, it would be VERY unusual for Cantor to not be speaking.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Two things kind of scare me about him... He is a Jew (lots of anti-Semites out there) and his Wikipedia page says he represents a wealthy district, which will help the Marxists portray this as some kind of a class warfare election.

SJackson, this would be a good place for your posts of the youtube clips where he wipes up Chrissy Matthews and others.

I’m reasonably sure it’s going to be Cantor or Romney. Needless to say, I’m rooting for Cantor big-time of those two. Good development.

Cantor grew up solidly middle class. No Romney-silver spoon trust fund issues.

he wipes up Chrissy Matthews and othersThat's always a good sign ;)
To: MeanWestTexan
Thanks for the info. I don’t know much about him (basically what is in the Wikipedia article).

It would be the best choice.
Even those genius "Mittens" would be on board.
A sharp stick in the eye to all of the leftist ani-semites on the American left and our raghead friends overseas as well.

This would be a very interesting pick. Do not fear Cantor’s faith being a problem - in fact, with the MSM it would guarantee McCain better treatment and coverage. And Cantor’s faith would help in Florida, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and northern Virginia.
I just want reassurance that this guy won’t get crushed by Biden in a debate —
