At a time when the Republican presidential nomination contest is growing increasingly nebulous, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) urged his party to “coalesce around a single vision with a nominee.”

“With the issues that need to be decided by this election, I think it behooves us all as a country to have sort of the choice laid out as early as possible so we can begin in earnest a discussion about the issues,“ Cantor said during a speech in Baltimore today.

The remarks come on the day that Bob McDonnell, the Republican governor of Cantor’s home state of Virginia, threw his support behind Mitt Romney. Cantor has yet to endorse a candidate in the race.
