Monica-Gate hurts Hillary because it resulted in Bill getting impeached. And since Hillary keeps trying to tie herself to the good parts of Bill's presidency, the Republicans are going to use that to say that she can be tied to the negative parts of Bill's presidency, too. And since Hillary's camp already tried to compare Obama to Ken Starr she's already paving the way for the Republicans to use Monica-Gate against her.
And you're right, the Republicans will use Obama's real estate deal against him, too. But since this is a presidential race which is going to have more impact? Obama's land deal or a presidential impeachment?

Yeah, except Hillary can't play the victim since she CHOSE to stay with Bill,
who had a long history of cheating on her prior to Monica, and is now pimping him out to pump up her own political career. You can't play the victim or consider yourself empowered when you're actually getting something out of the deal.
