^Well, that's unfortunately the thought process for much of the GOP base. I guess that's why Romney continue along the route he's going.
There were better ways to do it though. As it stands, I doubt this situation will significantly move the polls one way or the other. Romney probably neutralized what would've actually been a net Obama loss.
What I find to be the ham handed, simplistic foreign policy is one of the many reasons that I am no longer a Republican. I hardly see it as a weakness to condemn an offensive and incendiary hit piece of a 'film'. One has to understand that a people who have lived in crap conditions for decades tend to be overly sensitive and are super serial about the God thing. It is basic cultural competence. All this is no excuse for murder and I don't see how one people can derive that from it.
I agree that this is a blip as it stands now. However, things can lurch out of control rather quickly in an unstable region; so people making concrete predictions either way should probably settle down.
