So this guy claims.  We shall see.  This doesn't look like a big gossip site, so it could be just traffic whoring, but we shall see.  They claim something will come out soon. 

If it does, and there's concrete proof, or at least a enough reliable witnesses that its obviously true, it puts a big dent in the Hildebeest's campaign. 

The Teflon Pantsuit has avoided nearly everything thrown at her, but if concrete proof came out that her marriage was truly a political arrangement and it stuck, it could utterly destroy her character in the public eye.  The biggest criticism of Hillary is that she's a cold, soulless, unscrupulous, calculating person, who will do whatever she can to get ahead, regardless of morals, this would confirm it in a way that leftist spinmeisters couldn't handle. 

Its not as much the fact she'd be having a lesbian relationship that would hurt her politically as much as it would the dishonesty.  Had she divored Bill, started anew and came out, it probably wouldn't matter, sure, she'd never be President, but she'd have likely won her NY seat, and remained a powerful Senator.

That said, if it comes out she's having lesbian affairs, it will hurt her politically, maybe public discomfort about homosexuality would be enough to sink her presidency alone, but I think that the fact that it would be confirming all the worst that has been said about Hillary's character would be most devastating, particularly in the longterm.

As for the veracity of the stories, its possible that LA Times has something, in fact I wouldn't be surprised.  They are the same people that pursued the Hsu fundraising story in a big way.  I'm sure they're real twitchy about putting it up, because the heat that would come down on them would be harsh.  But on the flipside, they've been plummeting in revenue and sales, so where else to go, but to report on what everyone else refuses to?  Most papers seem to be content going down in flames with their bias intact, maybe the LA Times is the exception, and is trying to recover some credibility?

As for Hustler, its no secret that Flynt has favored the Democrats for a long time, and his longstanding offers for cash for juicy details of hypocritical sexual behavior from politicians has pretty exclusively been a bludgeon against GOP elite. 

But before you dismiss the possibility that Larry Flynt would never skewer a Democrat, don't forget, Hillary is known for occasionally dipping into that Tipper Gore type populist approach to sexual, violent or otherwise controversial entertainment, she's taken swipes at video game producers in the past, as a gamer, that I know.

That's gotta make a guy like Flynt nervous, because for someone like Hillary, who is so calculating and looking to make big change, she's gonna need to occasionally dip into the populist pot to boost her poll numbers, and there's few things better for that than slapping around pornographers.

Taking swipes at pornographers sounds like something that would probably fit into the "It Takes a Village" playbook.  Any type of move like that will hurt an establishment franchise like Hustler infinitely more than the internet operations, which will simply go more amateur, black market, move underground or move overseas, which is his primary competition to begin with.
