I still maintain that Rick Perry is the biggest obstacle not named Mitt Romney standing between Mitt Romney and the Republican presidential nomination but, dang, he needs to be talking to some better people:
From Katrina Trinko at the Corner:
Word in Austin is that Rick Perry is doing everything necessary to prepare for a presidential run, including brushing up on foreign policy. We hear that he recently met with top national-security experts Doug Feith and William Luti.
I admire anyone who can type that stuff and suppress a mirthless chuckle.
Forget Mr Luti for a moment. If you were running for the Republican nomination how many foreign policy folk would have to refuse to return your calls before you thought “Guess it will have to be Doug Feith. He’ll do!” Fifty? A hundred? Five hundred?
