Could foreign policy actually affect the 2012 presidential election?

… [E]very head-to-head poll has given Barack Obama a decided advantage on foreign policy and national security. Every one.

The thing is, I’ve stipulated over and over that Americans don’t care all that much about foreign policy. So one has to wonder whether this really matters. It’s an election about the economy, and there’s no way to sugarcoat the anemic job growth as of late. So this foreign policy advantage won’t amount to much, right? [cont.]
