Mitt Romney conducted his first interview since stepping out of the race yesterday with Fox News' Hannity and Colmes.  In addition to saying he would accept an offer to be the vice presidential candidate, he took the opportunity to discuss the foreign policy credentials of the Democratic candidates.  In part he said:

"I think he [Obama] is the better match-up for Senator McCain because the public recognizes just how inexperienced he is.  With Senator Clinton there is some confusion in perception that somehow being there while her husband was president made her a foreign policy-national security experienced person. She is not. She doesn't have any more experience, really, of a significant nature than Barack Obama does. But in Barack Obama's case, people recognize this guy was a state senator and before that he was a community activist. He has been a United States senator for a short, short period of time. He is in no significant way qualified to lead the country at a time of war, to lead the country out of an economic challenge. This is not a person who can stand up to Senator McCain.”

Then the funny part...  He said listening to the Democratic candidates discuss their foreign policy experience is like, "listening to two chihuahuas argue about which is the biggest dog.  When it comes to national security, John McCain is the big dog, and they are the chihuahuas."
