O'Donnell was the Republican nominee in 2008. All her baggage still existed then, but no-one bothered to make anything of it because Biden was safe. It took the competition of the Republican primary to force those issues into consideration, and after they were unleashed they kept on going. I don't think the costing of a Senate seat mattered too much for media coverage, since it's not something that casual politics followers care too much about.
