House GOP leader Eric Canter endorses Mitt Romney

Source: Washington Post

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R) endorsed Mitt Romney for president on Sunday, becoming the first member of GOP leadership to back the GOP frontrunner.

Cantor announced his endorsement two days before his home state, Virginia, is set to hold its primary. Romney is a strong favorite in the state, because Ron Paul is the only other candidate who managed to qualify for the ballot.

“I cast my vote already in Virginia for Mitt Romney and I’m here today to tell you that I’m endorsing Mitt Romney in his candidacy for the Presidency of the United States,” Cantor said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday morning.

Cantor, who is a favorite of conservatives, has also been bandied about as a potential vice presidential nominee.

As the vision Boehner sees every time he looks behind himself, I would call Cantor an asshole in training.

the local Richmond station. In fact the guy got fired from two jobs (Richmond and Cincinnati) in 8 days - while he was on his honeymoon.

The local tea party HATES Cantor but they just lost a voice on the most powerful talk radio station in the area.
