Not for this story. I think it has to do with the affect a particular story has on national or social policy. This is just trashy gossip of a twice-failed presidential candidate who was pretty much off the radar.
Beyond titillation, how did this story affect either policy or the cultural psyche?
Now if it broke a similar story on Sarah Palin... that might be different because she's very much in the spotlight and acknowledged as an active leader and shaper-of-opinion within a vocal (and volatile) segment of American politics.

Fair argument.
I actually tend towards yes. Biggest story that everyone else gave up on that they stayed with.
I think the timing is probably the biggest detraction as he was already out of it when the story borke.
