Cofer Black Endorses Governor Romney
This hasn’t gotten as much attention as it should:
Governor Mitt Romney today announced that Cofer Black, a former top counterterrorism official at the Central Intelligence Agency and State Department, has joined his campaign for President of the United States. Black will serve as Senior Adviser for counterterrorism and national security issues.
I think most people agree that Governor Romney’s strength is his obvious management skill. The world is still a dangerous place, however. And Rudy Guiliani’s poll numbers show that GOP voters know that terrorists still want to strike us (I won’t even pretend to know what whacko Dem primary voters want in a candidate). The way for Governor Romney to close this gap is by continuing to show that forward-thinking is the way to win the GWOT (see Mike’s post on nuclear terrorism below) and by gaining solid endorsements like Cofer Black.

You mention the Democrats. Since Republicans have effectively identified Radical Islamists and Jihad as America’s enemy and the Dem’s now perceive most Repubs as enemies, then, to quote Dennis Miller from this week, referring to the Dems, “My enemy’s enemy is my friend.”
I personally do not believe all Dems perceive the Repubs as enemies, but the leadership of both the House and Senate as of late lead many Americans to think that those leaders do perceive Republican leaders (Pres. Bush is head of the Republican Party) as their enemies. Proof? One of their own introduced articles of impeachment this week against Cheney.
