But, he would cast the deciding vote in the Senate in case there is a tie.
Isn't the VP the President of the Senate ?

Why not? We already have too many Conservatives in the House, getting Cantor out of there is good strategy, right?

So you think having a solid Conservative in the US House outweights having one as VP? Think you might want to rethink your stategy here Slick.

His Jewish ethnicity

The good thing about Cantor is that he isn't just ethnically Jewish, like so many liberal JINOs are. He is also religiously Jewish.

The word on the street here is that Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor will be McCain’s veep pick.

I'd be happy with this pick.

Me, too, obviously.

I just wonder what sort of inside track VodkaPundit has.

That said, I’ve gotten tons of information about a company I was going to buy by putting on blue jeans, a shirt, going to a nearby bar, and drinking beer.

Presume it works that way in politics, too.

Cantor's history on Intrade for the last day has been interesting. It looks like his natural price is around 5%, but someone has been trying to keep it at 20%. So it goes back and forth betwen 5% and 20%, with hardly anything in between. Could be some part of a McCain head fake effort, who knows.

No Graph Available!

The truth is always controversial, is it not?

Actually, a lot of stuff in politics works by taking OFF clothes, not putting ON.

I’ve noticed that volatility, too. Odd.

Cantor’s wife is a big trader (runs Virginia’s 529 plan), so perhaps she knows something and plans on making a little money.

That said, while I think inTrade is useful to predict elections because the market, like the electorate, is a body of people, here we have a sample of 1 (McCain) making the call, so it doesn’t really carry over.

Hey, "slick"---we can have both without removing Cantor from the House, ever thought of that?

Here how it works: McCain could appoint an ex-governor or a current governor. That way, Cantor remains in the House and we gain a conservative VP as President of the Senate.

Well, I took off a kippah and put on a John Deer cap (I looked like a beared mountain man then).

That count?

Cantor is booooring - saw a interview with him the other day - looks like a little kid - We need Mitt a bulldog that can hang with Biden and Obama and has Economic experiance and can bring home Michigan. The Cantor pick Blows.
