According to a 'Breaking' banner report, at the top of the MSNBC News site this is just out from the AP!!
I've done a quick search, and boy do I not like the AP site, looking for anything else on this but can't find a thing. Except a few of the recent articles and discussions.
I'll look around for some more information and post it.
A link came up three minutes, now slightly more, ago:
