The one really needed attribute needed by both candidates (especially nObama) is executive experience.
How does Cantor rank?

He has only been a Rep, so not much in that department, but given his positions and his current role in the house revolt, he is showing some strong leadership.
In this election that might be more than enough, after all we have had a lot of very experienced “executives” fail us...

Club for Growth is a reputable organization. Their endorsement may not mean much if your key issue is abortion (check NARL or Dr. Dobson's ratings for that), nor may it mean much if your key issue is the 2nd amendment (check the NRA or Brady's ratings for that), but it means a lot to economic conservatives.
For me, it is also a deal breaker. Anyone who can't pass muster with CFG is not a viable candidate.
Only two tests remain for me to declare Eric Cantor a great choice:
- McCain actually has to select him.
- His selection has to bring out howls and jeers among the moonbats, maybe not right away, but once he becomes a known quantity.

What was Abraham Lincoln’s executive experience before he was elected in 1860? How about Harry Truman? John F. Kennedy? Richard Nixon?

Jimmah Carter had executive experience. So helpful, it was.

I’ve been saying this for two months. Nice to see CTG finally heard me.
Cantor could steal all those Jews in FL who don’t want to vote for the black guy as well as be a real conservative on the ticket who has been out campaign for the last six years to get House members re-elected and new members into the House. He knows the states and he has raised money in most all of them. And Cantor is at least at young as Obama.
Plus, he plays real well in front of Christian audiences as a Jew and has more friends amongst the Evangelical community than McCain does.

Your #2 test has been
met already. That leaves #1......
To: MeanWestTexan
GOA gives him an A- (which probably means he votes solidly pro-gun, but is not a leader on introducing pro-gun legislation).
NRA gives him an “A”.
I just learned he’s Jewish, too. Very handy not just to take Virginia, but to tempt many Florida swing voters.

The only votes he made that the GOA disapproves of were not voting with a small minority who supported Ron Paul’s “Defund the UN” bill, and voting against the Democrats in support of a National ID bill.

no, the problem with obama is that he is a liberal.
Jon Corzine, with his experience as marine sergeant, former CEO of Goldman Sachs and US Senator (see http://www.state.nj.us/governor/about/) is still a terrible governor and would make a bad president.

Richmond ping for the Eric Cantor bandwagon.
I believe Eric has stopped playing the earmark game saying that is fiscally irresponsible. I’m pretty sure I read that in the Richmond Times Dispatch not too long ago. Corin, is that ringing a bell with you?
