Yeah, but this will give the story more legs -- the MSM haven't exactly been wallowing in it.

With Hillary's thighs more legs could be a dangerous thing. Honestly when the NYGOP attacks/comments on this story it doesn't give it more legs. It gives moderates an excuse to ignore the story as partisan bickering and rats a chance to paint the GOP as unfair to liberal voters. It won't matter what the charges are, the NY media will twist words and minimize for Hillary if they can use Republicans as attack dog.

The NYGOP should have said "We will let the matter be investigated by the proper authorities," and let the papers detail the facts. Now the papers can run the story as "Republicans attacked Hillary with charges of...insert charges. The story then becomes the evil Republicans out to get Hillary. The NYGOP statement is counter productive. It doesn't add any credibility to the charges with moderate or liberal voters, and we need some of those voters if we want to elect Republicans in NY.

President Clinton's reelection after 4 years of scandals should have taught people something. When Republicans are maneuvered into a position of being the messenger...we get shot.
