10. I thought so before the fancy dinner.

I think the call-back was an indication that Romney is still in the running.

Of the four names being floated lately, Romney probably is the best choice for Sec. of State. I think if t-rump wanted Rudy, he would have said so by now. Petraeus is on probation and can't leave the country. I don't know much about Corker, but his international experience seems to be limited to his Senate committee work.

But who knows what goes on in the orange one's brain.
