The vast majority of normal voters don't have the depth of perception required to see the Plame part of your giant scandal, much less what lies beneath. Give it the Mom Test: Ask a relative that votes and is reasonably informed about what's going on in the larger world what they think about Plamegate. Get ready for a bad answer, if not a blank stare.
The subtleties that lead you to believe this is a major scandal are just too complex for people to grasp. Watergate became a publically tangible thing once something as simple as breaking and entering entered the picture. Yes, there was more to it, but none of thatr would have mattered without the traction of public "understanding."
There was more to the various Clinton "scandals" that might have earned public outrage had the details been easier to grasp. Iran/Contra was on the verge, and never really got the attention it deserved.
And so the story goes...

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
