Bit more supposition, this time from a fellow reprepresentative.
I like the pick! Would explode some heads I must admit!
“Noth Carolina Rep. Robin Hayes is predicting that Sen. John McCain will pick Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia as his running mate. “
Eq’s cat Chuckles is predicting that John McCain will pick Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate.
Holds the same weight.
I love this choice. Cantor would bring tremendous assets to McCain.
Here’s hoping.
Btw, if that’s a Cantor ping list, could you please put me on it? Thanks. :)
Since it is obvious that McCain will pick at least 3 persons as VP, I would like to recommend he pick the US Men’s basketball team as VP. They’ve already won a gold medal so they have that special mojo that a veep needs. Plus they have a coach whose name uses almost no vowels. That’s kinda neat.
Done.
I know nothing about him. I have never seen him speak or never have heard him on the talk shows. Complete unknown to me.
Honestly I love Cantor and hope he is picked, but all this rumor crap is getting so lame-haha.
Bump.
The more I read about Cantor the more I like him. I also think that by picking a younger than average veep, we can build for the future, beyond the McCain years. I think it would be a bold choice by McCain.
From what I’ve seen, so far, Cantor can hold his own against Biden. Don’t need anyone perceived as too laid back. A conservative bulldog would be an inspired choice. I personally really like Palin as well. I just am not sure she comes off strong enough. So much depends on this choice. I hope, I pray, McCain chooses wisely.

Why not Michael Phelps? He goes to Michigan, an important battleground state... Or, Dara Torres? (I'd suggest Nastia, but she's too young).
Horus, Tiger and Jetta are wishing that McCain would pick Mike Pence. They are the Cats of Doom, so maybe they can influence McCain.
Cantor - good choice. He’s my representative and I like him very much. However, Gov. Sarah Palin is who I would like him to choose. And, I would like to see a governor on the ticket. I think it would give it more balance and certainly be better than the 2 senators the Dems have.
I’m staying with my prediction:Gov. Sarah Palin!
Rep. Cantor looks like a fine upstanding conservative, who wouldn't upset any conservatives (save for the GOP anti-Semitics you search in vain for MWT). Since a Cantor pick wouldn't poke any conservatives in the eye, McCain is unlikely to pick him. We could probably increase Cantor's chances by starting FR threads threatening mayhem if Cantor is selected.
Intrade appears cool to Cantor, place your chips in Cantor, and maybe you'll be a RichWestTexan.
I’m a Romney guy but Cantor would be a great pick for McCain. He’s a straight-line conservative, young and energetic. I’ve never seen him debate but I don’t thing he would have too much of a problem with Biden.
How on Earth do you get from Romney to Cantor ????
