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'...

Picture already out per Rush.

Pictures are out and we don't have them?

Oh, the shame...

[freeperfromnj]

The mainstream media will report this story and pretend to be disgusted by having to report on Kerry's infidelity, but they will report it.

Interesting that no other media outlet is covering it yet except or Drudge. They must be shaken to the core over the potential fall of their media star.

[LongsforReagan]

I could believe this is the Clintons, but I hope its W and Rove fighting back. Its about time they did and turned the firehose on the Dems!

[dts32041]

Nope just woke up.

[McGavin999]

I was thinking that myself. More like trying to come up with something to detract from the Vietnam message and it worked for Clinton to have all the cheaters of the world standing behind him. As a matter of fact, Clinton's popularity doubled when all anyone was talking about was sex. Perhaps this is a bid by the Kerry campaign to touch Kerry with a little of that Clinton magic.

Teresa has a low boiling point and also has a pre-nup on Kerry.

JF*K put up 6 mil on a mortgage in his name to get this far. By August the closest he'll get to the Fleet Center will on the sidewalk hawking the "Spare Change" homeless newsletter.

[mystery-ak]

I want this POS taken down...hope this is it!

[Rutles4Ever]

Can you say BLACKMAIL TARGET? We're in a War on Terror. Who wants to elect a President that acts recklessly and puts the nation at risk of the chief executive getting blackmailed???

That will be a HUGE talking point. Mark my words.

[js1138]

This give new life to the phrase, "Would you like ketchup wit that?"

[LongsforReagan]

We need pictures!1!!!

[SaveTheChief]

Maybe you are correct. But my loss of faith in the American culture has conditioned me to believe these kinds of things just don't matter. Not only that, we are being conditioned to believe that these things SHOULDN'T matter.

I guess we will just have to wait and see. It is all in the hands of the democrats.

[Peach]

Haven't seen pics yet...posted everything available on Drudge.

I cannot leave either and am glad I did my stuff earlier today...

[CyberAnt]

RUSH IS TALKING ABOUT IT NOW!!

[JFC]

are the networks saying anything yet?

[Cboldt]

You must have meant netdorks

Aye, that's it exactly! I hate it when my fingers slip, but I don't care enough to make the typing perfect. Thanks for the correction!! ;-)

[hchutch]

Nader knocks off a percent of the Dem vote, Kucinich gets maybe half a percent, Dean picks up three or four percent...

[over3Owithabrain]

I wonder if Kerry told the bimbo "Don't let the door hit you on the way out"

Bwwwwaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa

[Peach]

Mike - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!

Come home soon and safe to your wife.

[marktuoni]

Come on...surely YOU have the pictures

[NYC Republican]

Rush feels this could be a Clinton "hit" job...
