Mitt Romney Turns to Foreign Policy in Swing States

http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/24/politics/campaign-wrap/index.html?hpt=hp_inthenews

Lately, it seems like Romney has been getting killed. Romney has been losing both in the polls and fundraising to Obama, and neither of those are helpful as he tried to win over key swing voters in key swing states. My main question is how does this affect the Romney campaign's effort in swing states. I see this influencing swing voters in two ways. The first is that it reinforces the image of Romney and the Republican Party as eternally critical of Obama. While this doesn't invalidate Romney's argument, it can hurt Romney's image. The second is that it broadens Romney's message from being too focused on just the economy, and shows that there may be some sort of foreign policy philosophy should Romney win the White House.

Funny that Professor Schultz said something like Romney using Foreign Policy as a way to increase his votes. I agree with him because as we can already see, Obama has considerable amounts of votes on his side and Rommey will really have to pull out the stops on this last leg of the race.
