Is there any evidence beyond Drudge that there is a story here? If the woman chooses not to come forward, which is her right, why would there be a story here? It's not a sexual harassment case where there is discovery.

Our time would be better spent finding tactics to implement in battleground states on election day to GOTV for the GOP and depress the vote for the Dems.

No, apparently, there isn't any evidence beyond Drudge, and little evidence there. I think FNC and the other major media groups are going to give this a pass until there's something factual to report.

Who are the reporters who Clark spoke to?
Who is the woman? (the named person may well not be the one)

We're wasting time with this story, I think. Playing into the hands of the Dems, who want this to inoculate them.

Limbaugh reported that the UK papers quoted the alleged lady's father as saying "Kerry is a slime bag". And that "he [Kerry] pursued her, but didn't catch her".

You are right,Owen,this is entertaining but not important.

The dems won't care if he is a womanizer or not,convincing the independents and getting out the vote of our likely voters are what's crucial.

Supposedly a friend of the woman "came forward" to a reporter and related "fantastic stories" about the affair. There has been mention of letters between the two.

Now IF there is at least one reporter in possession of such information, I would call that a story. Not necessarily an airtight case, but, still, a story.

Especially now, after Kerry has denied it.

And how often do the media wait until a story is airtight before they run with it? Answer: Practically never. Witness the media's shameless behavior in pursuing the baseless smears of the president's Guard service.
