On the other hand, the attentions span of the media and average voters can be measured in days, not weeks or months. This will pass out of sight as soon as another “crisis” comes along.
Only true of democratic crises. Did ‘macaca’ blow over for george allen? I guarantee you this issue not only does not go away, but will show up nationally throughout the campaign. It will show up multiple times in the presidentdial debates. Dems and the MSM will use this as a wedge issue to try and pull women’s votes. INstead of this election being about Obama destroying the economy, it will be about abortion.
