RICHMOND, Va. - U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia has been asked for "personal documents" by John McCain's campaign, a Republican knowledgeable with the discussions said Saturday.
Cantor, 45, the chief deputy minority whip in the House, has been mentioned among several Republicans as a possible running mate for McCain, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
The Republican familiar with the conversations between Cantor and the McCain campaign said Cantor has been asked to turn over documents, but did not know specifically what records were sought.

Cantor is not experienced enough and adds nothing to the ticket. Imho, could be false info meant to intentionally confuse.

What’s so “hot” about him?
His record leaves me very COLD.

I didn’t say different. He has all the right stances on the issues, but I agree: A fresh Congressman is not Veep material.

Cantor or Cox would bring a decided intellectual bent to the ticket. If McCain is going into the second tier candidates, Cantor’s brain power would make him an excellent choice. Also very personable and can think on his feet.

If you want someone from the House, Pence, Cox, or Portman would be better.

He looks like a male version of Sarah Palin.

Why not Hillary then? Her proven track record is more ‘conservative’ than Romney’s since her socialist health care plan didn’t actually pass. His did.

I saw his presser yesterday during the GOP drilling revolt.
I was wondering who he was. He made great points, he hit the Dems hard, and he looked calm and collected while speaking.

Purely looks. First time I heard of him was yesterday during the House press conference and a few of us were ogling him and Mike Pence.

Was he part of the Republican House ‘Uprising’ yesterday?
Thanks for posting his voting record. Going back to read it.

See my #51. I was impressed by him, but he has literally zero name recognition to the average voter. I didn't even know who he was on sight and I supposedly follow politics. heh

I seek purely hard core conservative BRAINS and good SOCIAL SKILLS to get things done. I could care less about looks. Maybe I’m just getting old ... .
