Matt Salmon of Arizona who will be chairing the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, if I read the article correctly. <br /><br />He seems like a Reaganite - using American clout to promote human rights and freedom abroad, and willing to work with enemies when they're willing to work with him on promoting those same goals.<br /><br />Add in his views on border security and he seems in general to consider American defense to be a high priority.<br /><br />Based on the article, I really like this guy. The article suggests he might try to "primary" John McCain. I would love to see him replace McCain in the Senate.
