No, they really do. You have to get beyond the pointless exaggerations about speeches and apologies and perceptions of strength. As far as actions go, Romney wouldn't be doing much different. He has been desperately, and failing at it, trying to create a difference between himself and Obama by flinging crap about Libya and Iran and Syria but all in non-specifics. The fact remains that Romney can't name, even when pressed, any actions he would do differently, because there is nothing to be done differently.
