I'm giving this story a "good" recommendation as it provides some early analysis of a story that is sure to get a good deal of vetting in the days to come. This news analysis offers no new insights into the story as far as I can see, but serves to bring the stories that are out there and the initial responses by the campaigns together in a summary that may be useful to those wishing to follow the story as it unfolds, and likely dies within a news cycle or so. Perhaps there needs to be a vetting committee established by Obama's campaign to vet unpaid volunteers?
