I wouldn't go so far to say they control outcomes but they can keep a story & interest in a story going. I just see this different from earlier stories like the Farenkan one where Obama put an end to it by disavowing & rejecting. I could be wrong but this clashes so much with Obama's image I just don't see it fading away. Rasmussen shows he dropped 7 points in one day. This may even be a nomination killer.

Fair play!
