He makes Mitt look like a social lib. Well, actually thats not hard. Anyway, looks like he was for border security before it became into GOP fashion.
He does not sell out side of Va, but he to the Right of McCain.
Mitt is more big name though.
John Kasich or Tom Ridge would be better picks.
Cantor is too inexperienced.
Jindal/Cantor 2012 or 2016?
Voted YES on $9.7B for Amtrak improvements and operation thru 2013. (Jun 2008)
TOTALLY IDIOTIC! Amtrack needs to be sold off or shut down.
Voted NO on increasing AMTRAK funding by adding $214M to $900M. (Jun 2006)
FLIP FLOPS on Amtrack
Voted YES on deauthorizing “critical habitat” for endangered species. (Sep 2005)
Voted YES on speeding up approval of forest thinning projects. (Nov 2003)
Rated 0% by the LCV, indicating anti-environment votes. (Dec 2003)

I don’t see Cantor helping in Ohio Michigan or Penna.
Sounds like a diversion to me. My guess is they’d really like Obama to pick Kaine of Virginia.
.Forget all of that and support Michael Steele.
There is a guy with brains and enthusiasm.
Cutting taxes is “unimpressive” to you? Huh?
With McCain’s age a factor, he shouldn’t be looking at someone who the electorate doesn’t know and hasn’t already demonstrated through primaries or something that he could take over if necessary.
McCain doesn’t need a VP who might be a drag on his ticket.

He's someone I could get behind, but a 6 year Congressman as Veep to a Senator... dunno... nah.
IMHO, Rep. Cantor is not a good choice simply because he’s just another Washington insider.
McCain needs somebody with executive experience that has not been in Washington the last 10+ years.
a pick like this one says to me IMO, McCain is doing everything he can NOT to win. Why do we keep hearing about such stupid people beting Vetted. Eeeish
Michael Steele would be a HUGE Plus.
I still wonder if no one wants the job. Can’t say i blame them I guess.
I like Steele a lot- but honestly- I don’t believe he’s got enough elected time under his belt to be a credible VP candidate yet.
I don’t have a personal favorite at this point- I only hope he doesn’t choose Crist or Huckabee. I don’t think Kasich would be a wise choice either.
100 rating by the ACU for 2007.

Some quotes by him on this:
Voted NO on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment.
Vote to pass the bill that would require hospitals to gather and report information on possible illegal aliens before hospitals can be reimbursed for treating them. The bill would also make employers liable for the reimbursements if an undocumented employee seeks medical attention, unless the employer meets particular conditions for exemption. The bill would specify that hospitals aren't required to provide care to undocumented aliens if they can be transported to their home country without a significant chance of worsening their condition.
Reference: Undocumented Alien Emergency Medical Assistance Amendments; Bill HR 3722 ; vote number 2004-182 on May 20, 2004

He's just like McPain only LESS experienced. He has no proven track record other than another career political hack that gets nothing done.

You must have been reading my mind. ;)
Eric Cantor has one of the highest ACU ratings of all House members, at 96%, so he will balance out McCain’s leftward lean.
He’s a light weight that has no accomplishment.
I remain unimpressed. HE cannot point to ANYTHING that he did as a “success”.
