CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS: KERRY FIGHTS OFF MEDIA PROBE OF RECENT ALLEGED INFIDELITY, RIVALS PREDICT RUIN
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**

A frantic behind-the-scenes drama is unfolding around Sen. John Kerry and his quest to lockup the Democratic nomination for president, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

MORE

A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head!

In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments.]

The Kerry commotion is why Howard Dean has turned increasingly aggressive against Kerry in recent days, and is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision not to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, top campaign sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

#43 Theresa Heinz Kerry, the outspoken ketchup heiress, in an interview last year:
As if on cue, the topic turns to Hillary. "I don't think I could have coped so well. I would've been like psheww!" She makes a gunshot noise. "I used to say to my husband, my late husband, 'If you ever get something, I'll maim you. Not kill you, just maim you.' And we'd laugh, laugh, laugh."

Boy, if this is true, that haughty, French-looking guy is like so dead.

"She says she has never once, in either of her marriages, worried about infidelity. “I never have. Not for one day. Because what I expect of them, they have a right to expect of me. Maybe I’m into 18-year-olds “That was a joke,” Black says.

Hmmm....who knows, maybe she is into 18 year olds if he had to clarify that she was kidding. I find it hard to believe, considering her wealth and how many people already knew about this, that she was the last to know.

What I think is the most hilarious about this is ...given all of the other sleezy things that Dem's should hate about him....this is the issue that got the big reaction. And this from the party of "private matters".

But I have a question? Why would Clark drop out knowing that Kerry would "implode"? Doesn't make sense to me.
Btw I see Edwards as the most "dangerous" candidate... because of his "positive blandness". He'd be hard to attack and seems to be the only one in this campaign who has not committed major mistakes.
Don't be fooled by Edward's "lack of experience". Remember how much experience Bush had, especially in foreign policy. Presidents learn fast.

Edwards may seem like an empty suit right now but that could change if Kerry drops out (and Dean is finished already).
I don't think Kerry can win against Bush... even those people disgruntled somewhat with the WMD issue will not vote for someone who may have been a Vietnam hero but would be a walking security hazard in these dangerous times.

#65 Edwards duped the folks here in NC 6 years ago. Polls here show he probably wouldn't be reelected as senator if he was running. Friend of mine in NE is a big democrat and she went to the Iowa festival where Hillary spoke. Afterwards she was telling me how impressed she was with Edwards. I filled her in on his current popularity. He's dangerous because he knows how to spin and talk a good line.

#67 I've been feeling a little paranoid and conspiratorial today, so I am wondering if the JFK-redux campaign might have cooked this up themselves.

The liberal establishment is based largely on the values of the entertainment industry, where adultery is considered at least a rite of passage and often something of a status symbol, something like feminists listing their abortions on their resumes.

For the lib faithful this will cement Kerry's identification with two of their most revered idols, John Kennedy and Bill Clinton.

It also diverts attention from the fast-breaking revelations about Kerry's over-the-top rhetoric and campus-cong associations during his anti-war protest phase.

#69 Atomic Conspiracy - interesting thought. I was thinking how ironic it was, considering all of the slime attached to Kerry, that the adultery charge is what people seem to care most about.

Maybe they really do think they can deflect the focus of the discussion to this topic (instead of his anti-war activities, zero bill authorization and millionaire populism). In the minds of the currently-in-power-boomer-left, that just might work.

However, if that is the plan, I think they miscalculated. I agree with whoever said that this just reestablishes the Dems as untrustworthy cads. Dems need the middle and I think the majority are tired of the sleeze oozing from their party.
