We’re going to need a thread II as this one is starting to slow the site down. Also, on the new thread, please stop posting the name and pictures of the person you think the woman may be.

CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS -Drudge Alert (Thread II)

CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS


Update 1:

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


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'...

Of course they'll blame us. Remember "memogate"?? The outrageous content of the Dem's memo was NOT important...only the fact that the contents were revealed. Same in this story...it doesn't matter IF Kerry is Clinton-redux...it only matters HOW the story reached the media.

To: SaveTheChief
Bob, I have been thinking about your statement, and you are correct. But what happened in '92 when none of Bill Clinton's past behavior seemed to impact the election? We can talk about Perot and the Reform Party, and about how they took conservative votes, but nonetheless many of those swing votes went to Clinton, even with his past record and history exposed.

They impacted, just not enough. The press refused to pursue the story and Hill's "Stand By Your Man" routine worked like a charm. Once Bill was in office, many American's were willing to turn a blind eye to the allegations in '96, not out of love for Clinton but to protect the Presidency.

If you figure 30% of the electorate is hardcore dem and 30% hardcore pub, that leaves 40% swinging. Perot got 19% leaving Clinton with 12% and Bush1 with 7%. Bush lost by 5% (if memory serves) and that can be attributed to a lackluster campaign, diddling on a weak economy and the press's relentless attacks on "No new taxes" and Dan Quayle as monkey boy. Perot certainly was factor, just as Nader was for Gore in '00.

I wonder if the Portuguese Firecracker (aka Terayza Heinz) is as good at throwing ashtrays as Madame Clinton is.

We may have a chance to find out one of these days.

It was his e-mail Drudge posted about Lehane shopping the Kerry story. I think he used to be managing editor for the "Hill". He works someplace else now.

Estrich coming up on Hannity to discuss how she'd get out of this mess. Well she let the cat out of this bag a few weeks ago when she said Kerry had a woman problem.

Talking about the fellow who's been a "jerk" to Hannity who is guilty of the same thing Kerry's accused of.

IMPORTANT : Here is the chance to dump on your “not-so-
favorite” school. The comedians need some fuel for their act
They need to hear what you think about the other schools. They
need to learn some little known trivia. For example Harvard is
known for it’s many prestigious alumni-such as the Unabomber.
At Cornell you can get credit for a course in wine - tasting!

Well Sean Hannity is of the same belief we are -- Hillary in 2004 not 2008.

Yes, it certainly appears that way. Hellary is keeping her options open until the very end -- An 2004 election run is still in the cards.
