Bit more supposition, this time from a fellow reprepresentative.

[PhiKapMom]

I like the pick! Would explode some heads I must admit!

[mwl8787]

I love this choice. Cantor would bring tremendous assets to McCain.

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.

I know nothing about him. I have never seen him speak or never have heard him on the talk shows. Complete unknown to me.

[LiberalsSpendYourMoney]

Honestly I love Cantor and hope he is picked, but all this rumor crap is getting so lame-haha.

[mnehring]

Bump.

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.

[Plutarch]

Think about it. We all know that McCain wants to pick Lieberman, but probably won't because St. Paul would explode. McCain's inclination is to pick a candidate that is a thumb in the eye to conservatives. McCain's grandiosity is that he wants to win not with the Bush conservative coalition, but with his own maverick coalition.

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.

[kabar]

LOL. Here we go again. After reviewing your previous posts, you are obsessed with Eric [Who?] Cantor.

Lynne Cheney

[USMCPOP]

Cantor is my local congress-critter.

[big'ol_freeper]

Cantor would be a way uber kewl pick...

Good strategery too.

[jmc813]

I really hope this is true. I was planning on sitting this one out until Obama picked Biden (one of the top-5 politicians I hate) and now I’m probably begrudgingly voting for John. Cantor as the running mate will make this a lot easier.

[GOPsterinMA]

It would never happen, but, legally speaking, could Dick Cheney serve as VP again?

[montag813]

Mistake. Name a chick this year and Obama-Biden loses 40 states.

[Will88]

Who knows, but I sort of expect it to be an unknown. That would be what is probably a necessary deferral to the McCain, maverick ego, with a touch of short man’s disease also to be considered.

Still hope he surprises me, though.
