Waitasec, now...THIS is new: Also Friday the Chicago Sun-Times reported former Vice President Al Gore knew about the allegations, which was why he endorsed former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean instead of Kerry.

This is the first I'm seeing about Al. Wonder what their source was for this?

I'm not sure of the source but I think I this is from Hannity's interview of Drudge yesterday on his radio show. Supposedly, Gore was interested in Kerry for the VP slot in 2000 but he was running away from being tied to Clinton's affairs. Gore knew of Kerry's weakness for women other than Teresa so went with Lieberman instead.

Thank God he did. What would 2000 have been without Sore Loserman?

From what I've read, Gore considered Kerry for the VP slot in 2000 but backed off because of Kerry's reputation (and, supposedly, a 1998 affair) & chose Lieberman instead. Obviously, because of Clinton, Gore wanted to distance himself from that sort of sordid stuff. My impression was that this was pretty common knowledge w/in certain circles.

Some good theories in this article splaining some of the recent Dem party political intrigue (major players situating themselves for a ''brokered convention''):
