“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.”
-- President Ronald Reagan from "The Speech" - October 27, 1964

I think Cantor would make a fine Vice President.
However, Farnsworth is right that there is a distinction between the House and the Senate. A difference in stature definitely exists between the two houses.
So between the two, a junior Senator can make the leap to President long before a House member can – why? – because he’s in the Senate.
It’s like some of our politicians on the Right who were prosecutors for a few months and then did something else. Once a prosecutor, always a prosecutor.
Once a Senator, always a Senator.
The House is just seen as a bunch of starbucks swilling rabble. Personally, I think Farnsworth was spot-on.
When you think about it, the perception of the difference in stature is mainly attributable to there being only 100 Senators vs. 435 House members and the difference in term lengths of 6 years vs. 2 years.
That being said, I’d love to see Dems attack Cantor as the VP nominee and then for the GOP to roll out how their VP nominee has more experience and accomplishments than their Pres. nominee.
