I like Eric Cantor, but for the record, the last three congressmen on national tickets were:
Jack Kemp with Bob Dole in 1996.
Geraldine Ferrarro with Walter Mondale in 1984.
William Miller with Barry Goldwater in 1964.
You forgot one -- Dick Cheney with George W. Bush in 2000.

I left out Dick Cheney on purpose because he wasn't even a recent congressman at that time. He had been out of congress 11 years and had served in a cabinet level post. Jack Kemp had been out of congress seven years and had served in a cabinet post.
Only Miller and Ferrarro were in congress when nominated as VP.
Cantor could be the one who breaks the mold.
