OBAMA VS. ROMNEY
Cheryl "CKR" Rofer of Whirledview dissects in great detail the Foreign Affairs articles by Senator Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. It was a yeoman effort on Cheryl's part to drill down that much detail in a blog post.
I'm curious to know the "how" of these articles - ghostwritten? Personally revised drafts written by junior staff? Written in conjunction with a key adviser or two ? Fundamentally their own views ? Knowing that would tell us as an awful lot about the candidate's real comfort zone with foreign policy issues.

Obama has said that he writes all his own speeches and books himself, with some limited help from David Axelrod. Though I'm sure that he's consulted prominent foreign policy experts for these speeches.
Romney? No clue.

LOL! I have no opinion on Romney per se other than his religious background remains a handicap to his candidacy much the same way that the majority of an iceberg remains below the surface of the ocean. Shouldn't be the case in 2007 but there you are.
IMHO Obama is very much on the start of the learning curve for foreign policy but if he's digging in to it himself, then that's good. Certainly better for the long haul.
