I would think having the focus be on Benghazi and not the economy is a bad strategy for Romney?

I really don't think this issue is going to influence people much so I am not sure why Romney is focusing on it so much other than because he is doing damage control. I would think Obama would prefer Benghazi to be the focus right now and not the economy.

Thoughts?
