Eric Cantor, House Chief Deputy Minority Whip, has been asked to provide “personal documents” to John McCain steps up his search for a running mate.

John McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said the campaign would have “no comment on anything related to the vice presidential issue.”

Eric Cantor not only provides youth to the ticket but also provide John McCain with an important asset in Virginia, a state that last backed a Democrat for president in 1964 but which both parties are now targeting as a battleground.

If John McCain wins, Eric Cantor would become the first Jewish vice president.

Among others believed to be getting close looks from McCain: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Ohio Rep. Rob Portman for McCain.

For the first time this campaign season, Barack Obama has surpassed Hillary Clinton’s support among superdelegates yesterday when he added more endorsements from the group of Democrats who will decide the party’s nomination for president.

Obama added superdelegates from Utah, Ohio, and Arizona, as well as two from the Virgin Islands who had previously backed Clinton. The additions enabled Obama to surpass Clinton’s total for the first time in the campaign. He gained nine endorsements Friday.

A sad day for Hillary Clinton.
