I've always liked John Bolton.  I was sympathetic to the idea of him making a Presidential run himself, and has long been my first choice as a VP.  This pick over Gingrich is a surprise, but not a disappointment.  Some critics are making conspiracy theory claims about him or pointing to business connections.  But ZOG/NWO garbage doesn't affect me, and as I have said before, SECURITY is the ONLY issue.  Bolton is pro-gun and pro-GWOT, though I have issues with some of his approach to Iran.  And I know nothing of him having any negative thoughts toward cats.

Bolton to Back Romney

-

By Neil King Jr.

-

Former U.N Ambassador John Bolton is set to endorse Mitt Romney and will join his top team of foreign-policy advisers, according to people close to the campaign.

-

The move is a blow to Newt Gingrich, who is close to Mr. Bolton and said recently that he would nominate the former ambassador as his secretary of state were he to become president.

-

The Bolton endorsement will help buttress Mr. Romney's image as the more hawkish of the GOP candidates. The irascible Mr. Bolton had contemplated his own White House bid for much of last year before ruling out a run in the late summer.
