The importance of the Dukakis riding the tank is easy to overemphasize, and we interpret that moment as we do because Dukakis lost. In retrospect, it's easy to inflate the importance of a photo or soundbite because it's a pithy representation of the entirety of our thoughts about a campaign.
Anyway, with regard to Romney's trip: Of course voters don't care about what happened, but the political press does, and that's going to effect how everyone discusses this campaign.
