The Romney/Ryan Foreign Policy Team
Posted: November 05, 2012
On Tuesday, the U.S. public goes to the polls to select the next U.S. president. What would a Mitt Romney foreign policy team look like? Who might be invited to serve as his administration’s national security advisers? And which Mitt Romney would emerge after the election—the hawkish proponent of using U.S. military power abroad who appeared on the campaign trail, or the more dovish, “we can’t kill our way out of this mess” candidate who debated President Obama? For those doing a last minute reflection, here’s a list of profiles of key Romney campaign advisers, surrogates, and supporters.
