I'm not John, but my opinion, FWIW--It would help Romney if he actually was like Nixon, who thought about foreign policy. But since he is Romney, he doesn't have a clue about FP, and most people know that, it won't help. If Bolton starts talking (hard to see how he'll resist, but maybe someone has him tied up in a remote cabin in NH somewhere) and people associate Mitt with him, it will hurt him.

>>John; Polls sure do look positive for Obama. Think the flare up in ME will build on this lead - or maybe help Romney?<< Hmmm, well to date, thanks to Romney's continuing FP blunders these things not only help Obama but definitely undermine some of the Romney narrative--smart guy, calm decision maker, and so on. This latter is the biggest surprise to me and is going to be the most serious negative for Romney; not the specifics of what happened. It now looks as if Romney will have to win the first debate, clearly and decisively, to stay in this race, barring the usual exogenous factor problem. If he loses or just breaks even, the Republican money continues to dribble away into down ballot races. Or just floods over.
