There is more of this than one woman, folks. Kerry is a known womanizer. I have seen pictures of him partying with women when he was still married to his first wife. The person who has them is a Democrat and probably won't ever release them, but I think it's plausible that there are more out there. He was quite the playboy when he first arrived in the Senate.

If there is scuttlebutt about this on the campaign trail - and it must be heavy to have an actual candidate like Clark talking about it, you can be sure it will come out. My husband worked for the Mondale campaign in New Hampshire in 1984 and came back with lots of stories about Gary Hart having girlfriends in every state. This was weeks before the Donna Rice photos came out.

I'd say this is hugh and series for the Kerry campaign.

"There is more of this than one woman, folks."

Here's a Boston Globe article I posted on a previous thread:

The Boston Herald, Sept 2, 1998 p008

Question of the day: Who was the statuesque blonde strutting out of Sen. John Kerry's palatial Louisburg Square manse late Monday night when Kerry's wife, heiress Teresa Heinz, was on Nantucket?

We are told she is a 22-year-old Harvard student and former model who, Kerry's people claim, was dropping off a resume.

Our spies on the Square say the stunning Southern gal, dressed in oh-so-chic black, arrived at Kerry's townhouse around 11:15 p.m. and left just before the clock struck 12.

Not unlike Cinderella.

Which leads us to ask: In the age of Monica Lewinsky, is it smart for a senator with presidential aspirations to be entertaining attractive women when the wife is away? "He was very kind to me. He offered to pass my resume along," the young woman told the Track.

The Georgetown grad said she was not at Kerry's home at midnight - more like 10:45 p.m. - and that she would have dropped off the resume earlier except that it was locked in her brother's apartment.

Both the young woman and Kerry's people insist the encounter was completely innocent. They said the senator met her on Nantucket earlier this summer, then again last weekend.

She supposedly mentioned she was looking for a job and he told her to drop off a resume.

Which she did after attending a party for her brother in Boston the other night.

"They met, she mentioned the fact she was looking for a job and she dropped off her resume," said Kerry's spokesguy, Jim Jones. "It was like 15 minutes."

Jones also claims the meeting between Kerry and the young woman happened earlier in the evening, after the senator returned home from having drinks with a Globe reporter at the fab Four Seasons hotel.

"He had drinks until about 9:15, went home, had dinner, then she came by," Jones said.

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

Jones said there's nothing going on between Kerry and the young woman.

"The tone and appearance of that would be horrendous in the current climate," he said.
