I missed last night's junior varsity GOP debate (which means that Newt and Bachman are on the A-team, btw) so I haven't heard their foreign policy agenda for 2012. But this is downright scary:
The GOP respondents in the Gallup poll say that if their issue is business and the economy their man is Romney. Okay, understandable, given his background (though I guess that means they're going with someone who fires people to make a buck for himslef.)
