Michele Bachmann endorsed by Frank Gaffney

I do believe Michele Bachmann is the best all-around candidate for the MN 6th District House seat. Not only is she a social and fiscal conservative, she understands the importance of national security. There may not be much opportunity to influence national security in the Minnesota Senate, but she is smart enough to surround herself with the best advisors.

As such, Michele has been endorsed by Frank Gaffney. The author of Warfooting, Gaffney is the founder and President of the Center for Security Policy. In their words,

The Center for Security Policy has, since its founding in 1988, operated as a non-profit, non-partisan organization committed to the time-tested philosophy of promoting international peace through American strength. It accomplishes this goal by stimulating and informing national and international policy debates, in particular, those involving regional, defense, economic, financial and technology developments that bear upon the security of the United States.

Michele Bachmann and Frank Gaffney

Gaffney is a widely known expert.

Mr. Gaffney formerly acted as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy during the Reagan Administration, following four years of service as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy. Previously, he was a professional staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee under the chairmanship of the late Senator John Tower, and a national security legislative aide to the late Senator Henry M. Jackson.

Mr. Gaffney has agreed to be an advisor on Michele's National Security Advisory Board.

How many of the other candidates even have such an advisory board? And if they do, do the boards include such nationally renowned experts as Gaffney?

Someone who shows this kind of good judgment in seeking out the best advice, and the ability to attract the highest quality people, will serve us well in Congress.

Writing at KVM, Doug Williams says "It will be interesting to see whether any other candidates in the 6th attempt to bolster their own national security profiles in response to this endorsement."
