CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS: KERRY FIGHTS OFF MEDIA PROBE OF RECENT ALLEGED INFIDELITY, RIVALS PREDICT RUIN

**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**

A frantic behind-the-scenes drama is unfolding around Sen. John Kerry and his quest to lockup the Democratic nomination for president, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

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 and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

MORE

A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head!

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.]

The Kerry commotion is why Howard Dean has turned increasingly aggressive against Kerry in recent days, and is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision not to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, top campaign sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Update 3

FROM CONRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S CRAIG CRAWFORD: 'Drudge item on Kerry intern issue is something Chris Lehane (clark press secy) has shopped around for a long time -- it was one reason the Gore vetters in 2000 shied away from Kerry as a running mate choice -- their conclusion that it wasn't bad enough to disqualify him, except for the fact that they couldn't risk it as they were trying so hard to distance themselves from Clinton's personal failings (note: Lehane worked for Gore at the time -- and briefly advised Kerry during this campaign). The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it'...

[gobucks]

You are hilarious. LOL!!! (I'm stuck here too!!)

[MeanWestTexan]

Option A or B:

A. Kerry is unelectable. Hillary is going to run to "save the party."

B. Dean is going Green.

[The South Texan]

Gotta a feeling this Drudge making a huge mountain out a tiny mole hill.

We'll see.

[Salvation]

McAuliffe

Hitlery

or

someone died?

[Prodigal Son]

Well, Matt's cleared his page for this- he must think it's serious.

[Tree of Liberty]

Drudge already covered the gay marriage thing yesterday. This has to be something new.

[Jened]

i agree. this probably isn't that big or helpful to gop/bush.

[Cobra64]

I can't find the article on Drudge's site.

[AmishDude]

According to #96, "DRAMA=gay" which kinda fits.

[Rutles4Ever]

I'm going to take a wild guess:

Dean will run as an independent.

[kabar]

Dean or Sharpton is going to run as a third party candidate or Dean is getting out and supporting Edwards to make it a two man race. Or Clinton is going to announce his support for Edwards.

[Nexus]

He posted a pic, but it's not loading. Can anyone see it?

[mlbford2]

Hillary caught in insider trading. Battles Soros to corner pantsuite market.

[Pharmboy]

Kerry and Fonda shtupping...

[Bluntpoint]

They found Sharpton in an alley bruised and beaten with "Kerry" written in excrement on his belly and back.

[Salvation]

Thanks!

[RoseofTexas]

Dean running as the GREENS PARTY nominee? Holy RATS
doo-doo!!

[Rutles4Ever]

Bingo -- But I don't think Sharpton's involved. Dean has a vendetta to settle.
