From Mike Allen’s “Playbook”:

Start the chattering: Word out of the Hamptons set from this weekend is that Rep. Eric I. Cantor (R-Va.), a young fiscal conservative in the House leadership who has been a champion fundraiser for the McCain campaign, had a private LUNCH WITH SENATOR McCAIN while they were in New York to raise money over the weekend, joined by the congressman’s wife, Diana. At one point, McCain and Cantor were seen laughing and passing a cell phone back and forth. It’s not a BBQ in SEDONA, but it has people scratching their heads.
Also, Big Apple Playbookers tattle that CANTOR HAS BEEN ASKED TO HEAD UP A NEW YORK CITY FUNDRAISER FOR McCAIN WITH SENATOR LIEBERMAN. Date TBA.
