[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Why does it matter whether he has been anywhere. It's not like traveling gives you any insight into what is going on somewhere. Even if he traveled, he would travel with extensive security, stayed at expensive hotels, have his schedule full of meetings with statesmen, fancy dinners and the like...i.e. pretty much live the same kind of life he lives in the US, just with a more exotic background and more ethnic dishes...

I travelled to Iraq during Saddam's rule with a US Senator. We had very little security, we stayed at expensive hotels, and had a schedule full of meetings with statesmen, fancy dinners and the like. I can assure you that the Senator heard views not normally expressed at home. In addition, while some preconceived notions were confirmed (sadly in most cases), others were shown to be wrong. I think even Romney would gain considerably from visiting an Arab country.

Orrin Hatch?[/quote]

No. It was a Democrat. But, I don't want to reveal his identity since the trip has previously caused him trouble.
