It the grasping of straws of a doomed campaign and its media backers (aka Fox News and Limbaugh). They have known from the start that Romney had no hope to win the election. We wouldn't even be having a discussion of it being "close" right now if Obama showed up for the first debate and actually called Romney on his constant stream of lies. This is literally their last hope. They need to make the deaths of four people in Benghazi into a 9/11 type failure for Obama. It doesn't matter if their Christ figure Ronald Reagan, who they are so laughably far from at this point, had literally 80 times more people murdered at embassies and consulates in the half year leading up to his election or that he was campaigning the day after an attack killed dozens. This is literally all they have to pin on Obama when it comes to foreign policy. Hell just look at the last debate where nearly every single answer from Romney was "I agree with what the President has done."
