(Politico) Eric Cantor, former House majority leader, will endorse Jeb Bush on Thursday evening and will be named a Virginia state co-chair of his presidential campaign, Republican sources tell POLITICO.

Cantor was courted intensely by other candidates. Cantor retains a strong political network in Virginia, a key primary and swing state. And he has enviable connections among Jewish business leaders who can be key supporters and donors.

“This is a big deal for Eric, and a big deal for Jeb,” said a top Republican involved in the negotiations. A Cantor source said: “They have known each other for a long time, speak regularly and have great mutual respect for one another. Eric believes he is the only candidate with a real long-term vision for the country who can also actually implement it – not just talk about it.”

Cantor is to introduce Bush on Thursday evening at a fundraiser in Richmond and then will appear with him Friday morning at a VFW post in Norfolk, for a town hall focused on veterans issues.

Bush’s other Virginia state co-chairs are Kay Coles James, former secretary of Health and Human Services under President George W. Bush, and John Hager, former Virginia lieutenant governor. Both will attend the fundraiser.

The host committee (raise $13,500) for the fundraiser includes some of the biggest names in Virginia politics: Marvin Bush, who lives in Northern Virginia, and is a brother of Jeb Bush; Richard Cullen; Tom Farrell; Heywood Fralin; Bill Goodwin; Margaret and John Hager; Alan Kirshner; Chip Molster; and Ambassador Nick Taubman.
The sponsors (give $2,700) are listed on the invitation Thomas Capps, Mark Kington and Susan Ralston.

...thoughts?
