Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor

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

They wrote: “As a debater, he could be expected to match up well with Joe Biden...”

Well,as a DEBATOR, I think Cantor would make mince-meat of Biden.

As a bloviating demagogue, I don’t think he’d “measure up”

Cantor would be a great pick. His Jewish ethnicity and pro-Israel politics might also help in some parts of FL. His good looks will help with the arousal gappers as well.

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.

Cantor would be a superior pick. I hope McCain goes for it.

Given McCain has made his choice, a moot article, but interesting that:
