Who will give the GOP response to Obama's SOTU this year?

You know the media is going to dissect whoever gets this speaking role with a fine tooth comb for any hidden meaning behind why this person was chosen.  For this reason, I suggest anybody who has been talked about be excluded from this role: no governors such as Palin (sorry David, but I don't think the response this year should come from Anchorage; maybe in 2010), Sanford, Jindal (the media wants us to give this role to Bobby), Huntsman, Crist, Daniels and Pawlenty to avoid any potential conflicts.

The speaker should be someone who is both socially and fiscally conservative to affirm that the party isn't abandoning one spectrum of the party.  Preferably, the speaker would not be from the South so we can avoid the geographical label but from a purple state.  And hopefully, the speaker will be under the age of 60, so no John McCain no matter what!!!

Any ideas boys?  Eric Cantor stands out as a possibility in my mind given that he has no presidential aspirations but is a high-ranking member of the party and is conservative fiscally and socially and on foreign policy.  Virginia is a purple state and will likely remain one for some time.  Mike Pence?  From the midwest who can possibly challenge claims that we are giving up on the region with our bailout opposition.
