The Obama Picture

I assume most of you have read online today about the picture of Barack Obama in traditional Somali dress.  Most of the news reporting about the picture credits The Drudge Report with driving the story. See here (The Politico) and here (AP). The picture itself seems to have been passed around by e-mail before arriving on Drudge’s doorstep. How much of a web difference do you think there is in a story like this? Would this story have still emerged? What about in how both campaigns reacted?
