per  and Bearian, Elmer Clark and Sue Gardner above.  WP:NOTNEWS (which is actually ) is meant for, as it clearly states, "breaking news" or "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities."  This controversy is certainly far past "breaking news" and nothing of a sort of routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities.  This was, and is, an ongoing series of discussion, analysis and controversy that even ''after'' the November 2012 elections is cited as one of the major factors in the elections outcomes that will be affecting government for years and a need for fundamental change in broad GOP appeal.http://www.missourinet.com/2012/11/13/missouri-house-leader-assesses-the-2012-general-election-akin-effect/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/12/karen-hughes-rape_n_2117174.htmlhttp://www.pal-item.com/article/20121112/OPINION/311120009/How-tea-party-cost-GOP-Senatehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/yitz-jordan/gop-please-ditch-the-soci_b_2114377.htmlhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-bevan/republican-party-social-issues_b_2102131.html (These are just samples; there are many more.)
