Update 2:

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'...

"...how many times can they do this?"

As long as the DemonRAT faithful refuse to hold the Clintons responsible for the damage they have done to the Democratic Party--and the Country. I think the RATS are stricken by something like a collective BatteredWifeSyndrome!!

I'd like to see proof that the Clintons have their fingerprints on this, though...MUD

[Darlin']

Thanks for the perspective and the entire quote. :)

OMG THERE IS A PICTURE OF HER EVERYONE!! MAN SHE IS UGLY!!

[Centaur]

I guess now we know why Kerry was "not campaigning" and in D.C. for two days when he should have been campaigning. And we all just thought he was sooo arrogant that he thought he didn't need to campaign. Like Rush said, all is not what it seems.

[Agnes Heep]

I guess this means Republicans won't be voting in large numbers for Kerry.

[hchutch]

Dunno - it would be the fastest way to assure Howard Dean and his supports go Green Party. Plus, it would re-energize the conservative base in and of itself.

Unless she can neutralize that threat, she'd only lose to Dubya.

[CyberAnt]

Wesley has sold his soul to Hillary. That's where he got the info. If ABC and the Wash Post have known about this for some time and have kept it under wraps, what else does that tell you .. those media outlets are shills for Hillary.

[utahagen]

GWBush will streamroll over Edwards. The guy has zero charisma. He drones on with hypothetical stories about factory workers going home and waking their children up to say, "I lost my job today". I think even factory workers will groan at this pandering.

[finnman69]

JOHN FRISKY KERRY! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[GigaDittos]

POST IT!!!!!

[GigaDittos]

POST IT!!!!!

[beckysueb]

No. Dean is staying in and his campaign is gaining steam.

[areafiftyone]

I just did (snicker snicker)! You know I had to have some fun with this. ;-)

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Has Hillary Clinton left it too late to jump into the race? Can she jump into it, realistically, as late as the DNC convention?

Can you say "Torricelli"? It could be Nov. 1, and the Dems could still get Hillary into this race -- it wouldn't be fair for the Demos not to have a credible candidate available for the public to select!

[Peach]

I've got CNN on mute too, for the EXACT same reason. Not budging until I get to see that LOOK.

[twigs]

at least bubba stayed and faced us, waving his finger in the air and lying to us all denying sex with "that woman", Miss Lewinski. catsup boy took the cowardly way out, ran from the affair, sent her out of the country

Ahm, some of Clinton's women turned up DEAD. Others DID flee the country. No one but no one beats Clinton at the dirt and coward department. Just no one.

[epluribus_2]

Can you visualize what perky katie's expression is right about now as she sprays her latte all over her PC screen...

[King David]

A few months ago, there was a link in here that showed that Her Wickedness has already registered Her name with the Federal Board of Elections for the office of President... in the year 2004. I can't find the link, but I do remember seeing it a couple months back.

[mass55th]

It was Newsweek that spiked Spikey's story on Clinton/Monica.

[RightWingMama]

The senator was on the phone to his wife about 11:15, Jones said, and in bed by midnight.
