KERRY MYSTERY WOMAN DATED CAMPAIGN FINANCE CHIEF

**Exclusive**

A woman at the center of John Kerry intrigue dated longtime Kerry Finance Director Peter Maroney, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

When pressed by media outlets in recent week, the Kerry campaign confirmed the relationship, according to top sources.

Alex Polier on Monday denied "Internet and tabloid rumors relating to me and Senator John Kerry."

Rumors swirling around Polier ignited a behind-the-scenes campaign drama.

As first reported in this space, a serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

TIME magazine's Tim Burger and ABC NEWS have developed intriguing elements to the case, sources reveal.

She would joke that she was dating the next president of the United States, says a source.

Polier's flippant remarks and flirtatious manner, according to friends, fueled the intrigue.

In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments. "This guy is going to blow up. Have you seen the NATIONAL ENQUIRER story" [on Kerry's womanizing].

The Kerry commotion is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, campaign sources said.

She dated the campaign finance chief, something else happened (date rape), and Kerry intervened to cover it up

I like that one. Sounds plausable.

Why didn't kerry mention this at first. Did he know his "right-hand man" was dating her and when did he know it.

It suggests Kerry has poor judgment in selecting his staff. Do we want a President with poor judgment?

From what I've read, her family and her fiancee's family are both rolling in money.

Why would any media outlet have to test the waters? There would be enough interest to let it go. Plus, this latest "hint" seems to be totally disconnected.

However, the woman in this case doesn't seem to be the same Alex Polier....

Actually, what is more significant to me that Drudge has pulled his link to the Sun article claiming that Ms. Polier conducted a TV interview in December. I wonder if that has been vetted and refuted.

Vetted and refuted or buried under a pile of ketchup money... take your pick.

I think the press should demand that Kerry and the finance chief turn over all their credit card bills, itineraries, etc. to prove that there was no whay that JFK and AP were ever in the same town. Only then will it be proved that there was no liason.

Something is fishy about all these new reports. The young woman and her parents have changed their stories suddenly. Why? Why the vast difference in the parents statement: from Kerry is a "sleazeball" to "we are going to vote for him?"

Just to make it perfectly clear, Bill Clinton released this statement moments ago:


I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN!

Deflected.....Kerry can now be painted as the victim of right winged hate groups...

and this can be shouted loudly and often enough the "truly bad stuff" (selling out of the POWs MIAs for example) about Kerry can be masked.. imo

"From what I've read, her family and her fiancee's family are both rolling in money."

If you're talking about Polier that isn't true, I don't think. Mom and dad are working stiffs. The fiance is a manager in some manufacturing plant in Kenya--and yeah, he seems to be a wannabe documentary maker.

It looks like the fiance might be mixed up with some high rollers (of a kind), but I don't think either he or Alex have money to burn.

For those who question whether Kerry has something to sweat about, remember:

1) Kerry took the day off from the campaign trail for strategy sessions after news of this potential scandal broke

2) When Kerry returned to the trail to be endorsed by Clark, Kerry showed definite signs of worry. He looked and sounded like he had clearly been thrown for a loop.

So...she slept with this guy in addition to Kerry?

Hmmm... let's kick that idea around, while remaining mindful of the "What took place was much nastier than what's being reported..." quote. Was Alex "pulling a train"?
