They have access to information that the challenger does not. Probably why Romney chose to not be combative about it. Probably the smartest thing he could do in that situation.

We agree completely, but Romney failed to say that. Go earlier in the thread and you'll see I posted exactly that notion. Romney should have said 'Four years ago Hillary and McCain tried to say you lacked any experience with foreign policy. How is it any less ridiculous for you to say that now than it was when you said they were incorrect last election."
That is the first thing he should have said and it would have stopped the bleeding. Instead Romney tried to show he could hold his own, like a overly aggressive boxer trying ignorantly to prove he can 'take a punch' instead of proving he knows 'how to avoid one'.
