7. Corker is a traditional conservative not a neoconservative

Based on Romney's foreign policy team/stances, unfortunately, the GOP seems to be going in a neoconservative direction again. Say, Romney were to win (God forbid), I think either Corker would have to transform into a total neocon hawk, or there would be pressure to have someone else be chair/ranking member. OTOH, if Romney loses, I am not sure where the power will balance out within the GOP. It obviously also depends on the GOP members in the Senate. But a GOP President would probably hold a lot of sway.

FWIW, I like Corker, and would like to see him as ranking member under a Democratic Senate and Democratic President.

That would be good for the country.
