It’s about optics....and Christie knows that...his praise for Obama was win the whole nation was watching him.

Any praise to Romney was when nonone was watching.

Please tell me why 4 is bullshit. So you think not mentioning a huge scandal where our ambassador was murdered and we had a sitting president lie about it for weeks was good campaign move?

You probably don’t remember the administration AND the media following the meme about...”using the murder of our ambassador for political currency...”

Romney got burned on this early in the game.

The administration, in collusion with the media, was playing the “...wait until all the information is collected...” game.

This put Romney in a damned if you do, damned if you don’t position.

You may recall that he DID mention it during the second debate, and was blindsided by the referee. The only traction that story was getting was that Romney was “playing politics” and it wasn’t helping him.

Do I wish he could have used Benghazi effectively against Obama? Sure. But that wasn’t happening when every network except FOX was ignoring the story or, like “60 Minutes”, conspiring to BURY it.

Benghazi is a story that won’t REALLY be covered until January, at the earliest. I can’t blame Romney for that.
