In my last post, I linked an article from New York Magazine detailing Romney's missteps in relation to the events unfolding in Islamic countries around the world. Today, I want to link another article from the same magazine, this on by John Heilemann. In this article, Heilemann details the political fallout in America from these events, noting the potential pitfalls for both presidential candidates going forward. The downside for Romney is much greater because of how he opened last week, but there is risk for the president as well. It is a good read.
Regarding the events abroad themselves, the best overview that I have seen was a round table discussion on Up with Chris Hayes last Saturday, September 15th. This program was hosted by Sam Seder, filling in for Chris Hayes. This program is certainly my favorite of the weekend political morning shows. If everyone in America could have seen the show on Saturday, we'd be much better informed and thus much better off as a nation. I'll try to find a podcast to link.

Addition: Josh Marshall at TPM has another good analysis of where the Romney campaign finds itself today.
Addition 2: Politico had an interesting look inside the Romney campaign published yesterday.
