Romney is stupid to make a foreign policy speech...

It makes absolutely no sense going away from the issue he polls best with and focusing on the issue he consistently trails Obama with. It's just bad politics. You've got only a handful of days left to decide the outcome of the election and giving a foreign policy speech is going to leave many Americans rolling their eyes and thinking, "uh, what's his economic plan?"

But I welcome it. The less we're talking economy, the more trouble Romney is going to find himself in these next few weeks. But I've seriously got to question his handlers. Really, whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

out of all the issues to focus on, this is the one that he just can't win. The POTUS has done such an excellent job on foreign policy! This is yet another serious misstep for the MittWit campaign.
