I saw a lot of people report the Reverend Wright story for way longer than the story actually deserved to be run.  I can't tell you how many times I saw that one soundbyte on TV.  And they discussed it at pretty full length.

The Ayers' story has been around for at least six months, the McCain campaign has brought it up more recently for lack of other dirt on Obama.

I have seen way more coverage of these stories than McCain's ties to the Keating Five and to Jack Abramoff, both of which are more directly relevant to politics than either of Obama's relationships.

 

 

The accusations of the Keating Five may be much more relevant to politics than the two Obama relationships you mentioned (the corruption implied by Obama's relationship to Tony Rezko is on par with the Keating Five) but McCain was cleared of all chages and it was ruled that his "actions were not improper nor attended with gross negligence and did not reach the level of requiring institutional action against him" ...
