2. The keating 5 business isn't supposed to get "traction" in itself
It is merely there so that when the press reports the Ayers stuff, they ALSO have to report the Keating stuff. Obama knows that the press has a stupid and false idea of "balance." So, he's playing their game. It cancels out the Ayers stuff by making it such that it cannot play alone.

In itself it has little value. It is only valuable as a counterweight.

The fact that the website and documentary were clearly constructed a long time ago also signals to the GOP that the Obama campaign will do this everytime the GOPers come out with new filth. They will never get an attack off that stands alone. Obama will always put something in the press as a counterweight, usually in dramatic fashion to assure that the press pays attention.
