From NBC's Domenico MontanaroRomney tried to bulk up one of his weaknesses -- foreign policy -- by using names. He derided Ron Paul for not clearly understanding the threat of jihad, Romney said. He then cited Spain's prime minister... (he then mispronounced madrassas. It's mu-DRAH-ssas, not MAH-dru-ssus). He then used the name of an executed terrorist later to make another point, Sayyid Qutb, who Huckabee said is believed to have been a father of radical Islam.
