4. Military, foreign policy experience.

I posted about Petraeus as a possible Rmoney veep on July 13.

Face it, Rmoney is such a poor nominee that he has nada in one of the areas that Repuglicans always claim as a strong point: no military or foreign policy experience of any kind (not even as member of a Congressional committee).

So, Petraeus would bring all of that to the Repuglican ticket -- and since this is going to be a base-turnout election, I think Petraeus would excite the GOP faithful.

Frankly, I think it would be a good pick for Rmoney.

And I remember back during the Iraq war years when it was talked about that Petraeus did have political ambitions.
