When the initial reports came out they didn't highlight the fact that he was a D. As time went on he was listed as such in a more prominent way as the impending "better story" was coming to light.
If he had been an R, then that fact would have commanded more of the headline initially as the media would have taken a more "here's another one" stance. I think that is what Merc's point was. I guess it really comes down to which outlet you got your info from and when. I do remember having to look carefully at one of the first article I saw because I wasn't familiar with him and really didn't know. The info was there, it just wasn't at the beginning of the article.

Hey everybody...let's learn to multi-quote! It's fun, easy, and saves the reader 16 one-word posts in a row to annoy them.

I think its a fair assessment that the first information that some people got had the political affiliation clearly noted. So in a sense you are both right or all right ... whatever.

Poo, I'm right and your wrong, neener neener neener.
The Philly paper said Obama had checked on (audited) his staff and they didn't do anything wrong, but would not go into further detail until the official investigation of the Gov was done. One of the first stories I read, said Obama made a recommendation to the Gov for a replacement. I can believe that.

You won't find the political affiliation of the Portland mayor in this story.

Somebody removed it from Wikipedia a half-hour ago.
I've put it back. |

Apparently at least one AP story mis-identified him as a Republican.
His screwing a teenager was way too embarrassing for the Democrats.

They don't want people to focus on the double standards. The press does it as well.
