Gingivitis has a higher approval rating than Congress, but yes the dems will try and paint anyone with that brush, but they will try harder with a conservative in the seat.

Better to support Bush/Cheney than Che Guevara, in my humble opinion.

“...Cantor asked that it be changed to the more red-meat combo..”

Wow! A red-meat guy! My kind of candidate!

I called Cantor’s office this morning. He’s my rep. I am going up to DC on Friday and will hopefully get a chance to see him. They went all out to get me as much access to the house chamber as possible. GOP members are scheduled to be on the floor from 10am-4pm on Friday.

Can you image Obama trying to paint him as ineperienced? He has actually served in congress twice as long or, if you exclude the time Obama has been running for president, eight times as long.

Traditionally, congressmen do not get picked for VP tickets. The last one I can remember who did is William Miller of New York who lost with Goldwater in 1964. Expect to hear a lot of comparisons to Cantor and Miller if he gets the nod.

The other misgiving I have is that Cantor may be one of the best young guys on our bench. If McCain loses (as still seems likely), it could rule out Cantor for a future shot. If he wins, then we would have a good four years to evaluate him or anyone else McCain picks. Would the selection of Cantor get me to vote for McCain, albeit reluctantly? Yes it would! I've stated he cannot go further left than Mitt Romney and Cantor is definitely to Romney's right.

Eric Cantor: He’s Young, He’s Conservative, He’s against Dividing Jerusalem, and John McCain’s Considering Him for VP

Would you mind adding me to your ping list? I’m actually getting a bit excited about Cantor. (Of course, that may mean that it won’t actually happen...)
