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.

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'...

Could it have anything to do with Kerry's Prostate cancer coming back out of remission?

[bioprof]

He had prostate cancer. I've also noticed that he frequently loses his voice. Don't want to spread rumors, but .....there's a possibility that there's more to this than he's letting on. If he can lie about Botox, he certainly would lie about cancer.

[Lee'sGhost]

For those of us who did not get to see the picture could you tell us what it was?

[Republican Red]

That can't be it. You are allowed to lie and cheat if it is about sex - if you are a democrat at least.

[skip2myloo]

I thought Sheila Jackson-Lee was the dumbest !!

[Salvation]

Interesting lead there about what Kerry was doing to Dean in the early primaries.

The headline does state "Drama Within the Democratic Party"

Hmmmmm.

[Semper Paratus]

This is a sure fire way for Drudge to pad his web hit stats.

[JFC]

We all really have no life...........

Glenn Beck just announced the siran on his show... said he will keep us updated.

[TheBigB]

She single handedly lowers the IQ of dems throughout the country!

Is that even possible?

[BJungNan]

Nonetheless, he has me on his page, hitting F5 every 3 minutes or so.

Learn something new everyday. F5... Hey, it works!

[Rutles4Ever]

Seeing that the Democrats have been stockpiling political currency with the charge that Bush lied about WMD, I have to disagree with you. A serious WMD find would devastate the Democratic strategy.

[JohnnyZ]

Did I read that right? Is Dean endorsing Edwards?

In effect, yes. He hates Kerry more than anything else. But Dean is still supposedly in the race for himself.

[Spunky]

"Guys, this is an obvious Photoshop job."

Since it appears that the moderator has removed the picture, will you describe it so when I see it somewhere else I will know it is Photoshop. Thanks.

[wireman]

Didn't Sean Hannity say a week or two ago that he had devastating info regarding Kerry?

[Salvation]

Check the Dossier thread on Kerry from last night.

[mlbford2]

The huge build up of this story will be disappointing if it is any thing short of "HITLER STILL ALIVE: FLIPPING PANCAKES AT DENNY'S".

[No Blue States]

Mine too.

OBL captured?

But Drudge probably wouldnt include the word Campaign.

[Hon]

"Just did a forced reload. No pic yet other than the siren."

For God's sakes man, KEEP TRYING!!!

LOL!

[US_MilitaryRules]

Kerry has AIDS?

[Prodigal Son]

Ok, so let's take bets here. Did Matt get spoofed with the fake photo? Or does he have something real here?

If he's been spoofed, how will he play this one out?
