McCain, Cantor Meet

Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., confirmed he met with Republican presidential candidate John McCain this week, but declined to provide details about what they discussed.

“I don’t really want to talk about the meeting,” Cantor said in an interview Thursday.

As for continued discussion of a potential Cantor vice presidential nomination, Cantor said McCain is “going to make the right pick, I don’t have anything to do with that.”

Cantor laughed off a question of whether he would accept an offer to join the Republican ticket.

“This whole issue is one my kids think is really cool that my name is even there,” he said.

“We’re doing everything we can to not only gain support for John McCain, but also to help him raise money,” Cantor said.
