But for all the delicacy of the treatment, the very fact that the Times had sent a reporter out to interview 50 people about the state of the Clintons' marriage and placed the story on the top of Page One was a clear signal -- if any was needed -- that the drama of the Clintons' personal life would be a hot topic if she runs for president.
A hot topic for whom? Why, the Beltway press! Tomorrow we'll begin our series looking at the status of THEIR marriages. Should be fun! I'll happily consult more than 50 sources if I need to! Feel free to write in.
