The Republicans in this sense only have themselves to blame. They should have released it well before midterms and had this blowover.

Is it so very clear? Do the Democrats phone CNN whenever one of their Senators is accused of inappropriate conduct? I doubt it. First of all there is the question of truth. I am sure allegations come up all the time and then there is the question of legality. Was a crime committed? If that is a possibility you don't go to the press but, rather the police. If with the knowledge you have been given it doesn't seem the law is broke then you see if you can curb the behavior or you monitor the individual to prevent a recurrence.
The last thing you do is phone CNN. Take a look at any of the major news networks tonight and compare the time they give to the facts of this story and how much time is spent on speculation(what could be the case). I wouldn't turn my worse enemy into the press.
