allegedly been involved in a two-year extramarital affair with an intern beginning in Spring 2001

Crawford added that the affair story was "one reason the Gore vetters in 2000 shied away from Kerry as a running mate choice"

Well, the timelines don't mesh, do they? If the affair with the intern didn't begin until the spring of 2001, then it couldn't possibly be a reason why Gore didn't select Kerry as a running mate in 2000. Either someone has the dates mixed up, or there was more than one affair.

It seems clear to me that there is more than one "affair" that Kerry is going to have to deal with. The cats will be coming out of the bag soon, methinks...

Only one thing will prevent that from occurring - their embarassment about having had an affair with him - unless, of course, he hid from them the fact that he was married or engaged.
