McCain is rumored to be considering Eric Cantor as a VP candidate. Cantor is Jewish and keeps a kosher home. I know nothing about him other than what I read in Wikipedia.

He is young, which McCain needs and he is from Virginia which is a state in play. Being Jewish he will help in some marginal blue states, especially Florida. He could be a good strategic play. More important we need to know if he would be a good president; when you are VP for a 72 year old that is important and he would certainly be in que for that position. In fact any VP candidate should be vetted as if they would become president on short notice.
