Have latest stories hurt Clemens' Hall chances even more?

dichalk posted 5/6/2008 from sports.yahoo.com

Now, in the wake of last week's allegations over his personal life, it seems like Clemens has one more factor working against his election on a first ballot — and maybe even in elections after that one.
