In a political season like we are in now the news cycle never really ends. Politico has an interesting article, ‘How the sausage gets made,’ that details Politico’s interaction with the Obama campaign over the senator’s problem winning Catholic voters this past weekend.

Among the items agitating the Obama campaign was the initial headline: "Obama support soft among Catholics.”

Mahtesian ordered it changed to "Obama slow to gain among Catholics.”

No, the difference between those would not be obvious to me at first glance, either.

But the two headlines give a flavor of Saturday’s tussle.

It’s the evolution of a news story in the era of New Media and how a high-powered political campaign affects it and thanks to John Harris for pulling "back the curtain a bit."
