“no accomplishments”
To repeat a post:
Well, he’s a 97% ACU conservative. That’s probably more conservative than you.
He lost his cousin to arab terrorists, and is personally motivated against terrorists — been on lots of Congressional Committees re: unconventional warfare and terrorism. Be a natural fit on that issue in an administration.
He’s articulate, young, and is leading the revolt against Pelosi on oil drilling.
He’s not afraid to mix it up, and the Dims call him an “attack dog” -— they don’t like Jews who leave the plantation.
The Club for Growth just endorsed the man.

As I said, no accomplishments. Having a conservative voting record is nice, but that and 50 cents won’t get you a single vote on election day.
I didn’t say he wasn’t a good guy, or that he isn’t a conservative, but that he has no executive experience, no accomplishments, and as such does not qualify to be a VP, or possibly suddenly president.
Trying to push Cantor for McCain’s VP is just plain silly.
Wow, thanks for the info! Talk about shoring up the conservative base. Wouldn’t it be great to set up somone with this record as the presumptive nominee in 2012?
