The sad part is that the White House and the RNC will not capitalize on this.

They'll be the "gentlemen" and let it slide.

Can't they play by the dems rules just once and hammer the crap out of them?

Gimme a break! This investigation has been going on since October and the story breaks the week before the convention! You don't think the RNC and WH are capitalizing right now?

It's hard to do without the mainstream media on your side. Only the MSM can give a story critical mass, and if the Reps get out too far ahead of the story, the MSM's motherly, pro-Dem instincts will kick in and they'll spin it against the Reps, e.g., "suspicious timing," "who leaked it?", "no big deal," "VRWC floated bogus story of documents in socks - it was a briefcase," etc. If the MSM thinks that the Reps are driving this story, they will jump in to protect the Dems.
