*****************
Romney takes orders well , will never sell out the US like Hillary, is organized, dresses well for events such as state funerals and excels at long boring negotiations... this is something he is well suited for, especially as our policy positions will be clear and unambiguous.. His lack of energy and vision actually works well in that post. Romney = errand boy.
The duties of Secretary of State
Lots more than boring dinners, none of which I would want Romney, Clinton or Kerry touching!
