Some good analysis, although a few too many theories thrown in (Clark won't get Kerry's delegates should he drop out).

The main thing I agree with is the timing wasn't necessarily good for the GOP. Kerry was starting to lose his luster anyway on real issues and the Fonda thing, and Bush was slowly recovering from the AWOL and other smears. This kind of muddies the waters again, which is an old Clinton/Dem trick.

The timing just seems to say "EDWARDS!!" in time to deal a deathblow to Kerry's media generated momentum for March 9 (remember the Edwards play book?), but I would not discount participation by the Clintons.

Your last paragraph. I agree and have enjoied the fact that republicans have remained above the dirty politics. But when you opposition clearly intends to use the scortched earth policy, you can't simply turn the other cheek. I have a feeling the republicans have a few really nasty tricks up thier sleeve and are just waiting for the right moment to use them.

Good find, Lando. Very, very interesting. I don't know how the puzzle pieces all fit together, but the Clintons scrambling to keep control of the Dem party is the picture on the box.

Oh, yes, and reportedly there are letters from him to her. A note for future Presidential candidates: don’t send your mistress gifts, don’t write her letters, don’t leave her phone messages, and don’t have your picture taken with her.

Wily old Cardinal Richelieu of 1600s France advised "Never write a letter . . . and never destroy one."
I believe he's on to something.

[Jim Cane]

I just went to the ABC, NBC, and CBS sites and they say nothing about Kerry's infidelities so it must not be true.

You would think the mainstream press would be all over this but all they're saying is that Kerry has Clarke's endorsement.

The media wouldn't....spike...a story would they?

Naturally, it is likely that exactly none of what I have outlined above will happen exactly as I have stated it. This race has been strange to date and shows every sign of getting even stranger with time.

Talk about equivocating
Why bother to analyze anything if you don't have the gonads to stay with your analysis

"Let’s review the story, because it’s already becoming cluttered and confused. Various internet pundits appear to be taking two different stories about possible affairs (several years apart) and fusing them into a single composite event. Kerry, recently, had an affair with a woman about whom the following things are rumoured: she’s about twenty, she worked for the Associated Press (apparently as an intern), and she’s recently left the country at the encouragement of Kerry. The relationship continued right up until he announced his candidacy for President in the fall of 2002. This is the affair which Matt Drudge was talking about in the story he broke.

Oh, yes, and reportedly there are letters from him to her. A note for future Presidential candidates: don’t send your mistress gifts, don’t write her letters, don’t leave her phone messages, and don’t have your picture taken with her.

People are confusing this story with another story about an affair that Kerry might have had earlier, in 1998 or so: which was already known about in political circles at the time of the 2000 election. This is a different story altogether and the newness, combined with the repeated pattern, makes it far more significant."

You don't know what you are talking about.

This story didn't start on the internet. You are guessing about things. The 1998 story did not make any rounds, it was just a brief blurb in the Boston Herald. There are several other stories.

Why are you muddying the waters? This is just your uninformed speculation.

"By the time the real truth of Clinton’s venality became public, they had few choices (if they wanted to save the Democratic Party) but to fight for the guy to the death."

False. I said at the time, and still believe, that the best thing for the Dem's would have been for Clinton to resign "to spend more time with my family" and Gore to become president. He would have run as an incumbent in 2000 and would be in office today.

[thoughtomator]

The blackmail potential alone should disqualify Kerry for President.

What You Don't Know about John Kerry

[stop_fascism]

I think it's probable that the Kerry campaign leaked this story. Why else would Clark drop a dime on him and then endorse him? Who really thinks it would make a difference to the dems, even if true?

Look for the story to be proved false, and for the pubbies to get the blame.

"In the end, the only people who truly benefited from eight years of Clintonism were Bill and Hillary Clinton."

Kinda says it all, doesn't it?

[LS]

While I think NOTHING will deter the Dems, who, as Rush says, will view this as a "resume enhancement," don't be fooled: the "independents" and "moderates" put up with Clinton for 8 years, but were sickened by that kind of behavior. While no one wanted to pull a president OUT for that kind of behavior, that's a far cry from PUTTING SOMEONE IN who already has this on his record. I think no matter how this plays out it will tremendously damage him.
