http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/10/conservative-ma.htmlThe editors of National Review Online are calling for Gen. Peter Pace, who retired yesterday as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to run for the Senate seat being vacated by John Warner of Virginia.
Here's what the conservative publication says in an editorial:
The articulate and personable four-star would be a novice politician wise in the ways of Washington. As a veteran of the Pentagon’s senior ranks, he would have a commanding advantage over all other candidates on national-security issues. Unlike other senior military leaders, the Catholic General Pace has been outspoken about his conservative beliefs on social issues. In defending the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, he has forthrightly explained that he believes homosexual conduct to be “immoral” behavior that the military shouldn’t condone. Adultery, too, should not be tolerated in the military’s ranks, he has said.
