Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and a titan of the religious right...
Jewish GOPer Eric Cantor, however, would be a-okay in Land’s book:
I’ll tell you another choice that I think would ring a lot of bells among evangelical and Catholic social conservatives, and I think could have some real electoral punch to it, is Eric Cantor, the congressman from Richmond. He’s the fourth highest person in the House leadership. He is a conservative, observant Jew, a one hundred percent pro-life voting record. And if he picked Cantor, that would probably help hold Virginia. And it would increase McCain’s percentage of the Jewish vote in Florida and Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

it’s more than that. I’m Catholic. The thing about Cantor is that he brings all of Romney’s assets and none of his liabilities. There is no footage of Cantor bashing McCain as there is of Romney. That means that McCain can run Hillary and Biden attacks on BO all fall w no retribution.
