McCain Vetting Cantor
Sen. John McCain’s campaign has asked Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) for personal documents “as the Republican presidential candidate steps up his search for a running mate,” the Associated Press reports.
“Cantor, 45, the chief deputy minority whip in the House, has been mentioned among several Republicans as a possible running mate for McCain. A 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.”
Politico: “With a Southern lilt and that belies his talent for raw politics, Cantor is one of the nation’s most prominent Jewish Republicans, and has impressed the McCain team by becoming a prolific fund-raiser for the campaign.”
