Commander in Chief and Crisis Management
Romney:
He oversaw the Massachusetts national guard which is probably about as extensive as the first mob uprising at Faneuil Hall. He has interacted with post 9/11 security concerns with the Winter Olympics and knows how to manage and make decisions.
Santorum:
Rick Santorum has met 3 Commander in Chiefs. Having oversight of Foreign policy isn’t the same as leading or managing troops let alone creating architecture of battle or even armed services preparation. The good news is that if the military didn’t turn on Barack Obama, it’s a good chance Santorum would make it through his presidency alive.
Gingrich:
The longest lecturing professor at the War College including a 30+ year span of training Admirals and Generals. A student of military history and strategy since being drug around the world with his army father and family as a little boy. He reads military strategy FOR FUN and is friends with people like Benjamin Netanyahu and other world leaders.

Right now, I am trying to get a sense of this, to maybe do a little flyer about it, because it is very very impressive and I think would make voters feel very secure with the thought of a Newt Presidency during such turbulent times. It is such an embarrassment of riches with Newt, it's hard to choose which Newt elements have the most wallop, but I truly believe this is important and impressive. I mean, how many people have that on their resume?
