IF this story is true, then Reno and both Clinton's are going to get trashed in the polls.
On the other hand, IF they planted a FALSE story, Reno will benefit MIGHTILY from the sympathy vote; right-wing conspiracy she'll cry, and all of that nonsense.
Remember, Clinton's buddies started circulating "rumours" that he was a baby-killer or some such nonsense, only to later get a boost in the press from "exposing" said story as bogus.
Reno is already dead in the polls for Florida. She's got nothing to lose by trying the same trick.
That's not to say that this story is either true or false, just that we need to be careful here...
We say that everytime.
