Romney's Irresponsibility
It is pretty clear that Romney's attempts to politicize the killings in Libya have been a disaster. Even Ryan has been more somber and judicial with his remarks. In fact, the stark contrast between Ryan and Romney is very telling.
There are a few corners of the far right that are providing full-throated support for Romney, and there are some Republicans who are trying to be supportive by saying Romney jumped the gun but was right to criticize Obama for his handling of the Middle East in general. While I don't agree with the latter, I totally understand why they are trying to do damage control without fully abandoning their own principles and support for the United States.
However, this is an unmitigated disaster for Romney of his own making. The Intrade market jumped in the last day and now has Obama at a 63% chance of winning. This is a 1.5-2 point jump in the last day, and about an 8-9 point jump in less than a week. That is shockingly bad news if you are a Romney supporter. Even Faux News has Obama up 5 points.

As I said in a comment to another post of yours, count me as another right winger voicing full throated support for Romney. He said what needed to be said, what the major media outlets, save for Fox, are not saying. Obama's response to these attacks has been disgraceful and it will only encourage future attacks. Obama has to suspend aid to any country where these attacks happen which our intelligence indicates enabled the attacks or did nothing to prevent them.
One of the two candidates has acted Presidential in his comments here. And it isn't Obama.

You think we should suspend aid to Libya? Really? You really do not understand basic workings of the Middle East and what is happening in Libya. You would play right into the hands of the terrorists.
