...veteran of the war in Iraq, I find it uplifting to see a candidate with a legitimate military background. We have seen the repercussions the U.S. faces when we do not have someone with military experience in our country's highest elected position.

At other points, when the economy more recently became a central concern of voters, he focused more on his business background. For such a usually well-polished corporate leader, Romney also managed to make quite a few memorable gaffes in his efforts to prove his conservative credentials, such as when he called for doubling the number of terror detainees at Guantanamo...
