Rumor: A Kerry Affair & Push Polling
Rumor has it that John Kerry (D) is going to be outed by Time Magazine next week for having an affair with a 20 year old woman who remains unknown. The affair supposedly took place intermittently right up to Kerry's Fall 2002 announcement of candidacy. At present, this is nothing more than a rumor; and after such sordid tactics as the "push polling" that took place in South Carolina in the 2000 elections, can such rumors be credible during campaign cycles? Could this create a Democratic backlash against Republicans for perceived scandalmongering?

Not only that, but a blog entry made many days ago 'broke' the story. The blog is run by Cameron Barrett (go to the bottom of the blog (home/main page I Added this to the post cause I couldn't find the name on the first link) to see his name and copyright note). Cameron Barrett works for Wesley Clark's campaign.
And notice how in that blog entry, it already was setting up the right to take the blame?

Incredible. One of Weasley Clark's minions spreads the story, says it will be in TIME magazine (hardly a GOP mouthpiece) and predicts everyone will blame the Republicans. Sadly, he's right. The Republicans, the Bush Campaign, "right wingers" in general, all will be (or already are being) blamed for this vicious hit piece, so everyone can quickly ignore it (and not bother to consider that it might be true, and what that says about John F-ing Interns Kerry's character).
