Is this not standard operating procedure? As for the press ignoring it, this too is standard operating procedure. What could possible be more relevent to the biggest story of the day (the nomination of presidential candidates) than a story that sheds such light on a favorite for the Dem nomination? I have to disagree with you about the media "working on it". How long would you estimate a story this revealing about a Republican to make the presses? Sure, there would be reporters working on  more in depth analysis, but there would also be preliminary stories stating the basics in print the very next day. Will the media cover the story? That depends. If the alternate media can create enough of a hulabaloo that it becomes impossible to ignore (as has happened in the past- think rathergate or swiftboaters) then yes. If not? Then no, not unless an Obama supporting reporter gets serious. "Instead, they decided to avoid the debate altogether and to make it personal."
