from Salon.com:
Mitt Romney has always had trouble igniting the Republican base, and apparently some key surrogates have now taken to begging for support.
Bellicose former U.N. ambassador John Bolton, who has been informally advising Romney on foreign policy, was the keynote speaker at a GOP fundraiser in Iowa last night where he pleaded, Even if youre not at this moment an enthusiastic supporter of Gov. Romney, will you please get yourself together in the next three or four months? His inspirational message continued: He may not have been your perfect candidate, but consider what you will see on the ballot on Nov. 6. This is not a tough decision. Mitt Romney: Probably Better than the other guy.
In typical Bolton fashion, he also told the Polk County Republicans that a dollar spent on defense is better than a dollar spent with the Department of Health and Human Services. ................(more)

Bolton supported the Vietnam War and enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard, but did not serve in Vietnam. He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book "I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost."[14] In an interview, Bolton discussed his comment in the reunion book, explaining that he decided to avoid service in Vietnam because "by the time I was about to graduate in 1970, it was clear to me that opponents of the Vietnam War had made it certain we could not prevail, and that I had no great interest in going there to have Teddy Kennedy give it back to the people I might die to take it away from."[15][16]
