Kerry in Sex scandal!!!!

[The Mad Monk]

Torircelli is special.

[Swissy]

Kerry has been winning because the Dem voters have been been told there are no skeletons in his closet and he has the best chance to beat Bush. All exit polling on the Dem side has been saying electibility is issue #1. If this tarnishes his electibility he is done. To bad nobody looked beyond the war hero image.

You left Dean becuase of the "scream" issue, which has been shown to be a non-issue.

Ned implies there might be a sex scandal of some sort (but we know absolutely nothing about what the charges are) and you are ready to say if it turns out to be true, you will withdraw your support for Kerry...

What won;t make you change yoour mind about a candidate? You are OK with them getting haircuts perhaps?

If that "Democratic Underground" website is anything to go by, a lot of people are prepared to dump him on a rumor.

It's quite telling, isn't it?

(CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry will pick up the endorsement of former Democratic rival Wesley Clark, a Democratic source told CNN, as Sen. John Edwards and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean tried to convince Wisconsin voters the Democratic presidential race isn't over.

Clark was scheduled to appear with Kerry on Friday in Wisconsin, the scene of the next major Democratic contest. In a CNN interview Thursday, Clark would not confirm that he would endorse Kerry, but said, " I'm looking forward to seeing John tomorrow."

A Democratic source called Clark's expected endorsement a "significant step forward" for the Kerry campaign, predicting it would draw Southern and military votes to Kerry, who has won 12 of the first 14 Democratic contests.

For a second day, Kerry rested and worked the phones Thursday at home in Washington.

His campaign faced questions about a photograph that surfaced on the Internet and TV and in newspapers showing him at a 1970 protest against the Vietnam War with Jane Fonda. (Full story)

Many Vietnam veterans have never forgiven the actress, who was nicknamed "Hanoi Jane," for traveling to North Vietnam while Americans were fighting in that conflict.

The Kerry campaign said the senator and Fonda were acquaintances and that the photograph was taken two years before her trip, which Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, did not support.

In another development Wednesday, the Democratic field got smaller when Clark dropped out after third-place showings Tuesday in primaries in Tennessee and Virginia. Kerry won both primaries, with Edwards coming in second.

Clark, 59, a political novice who jumped into the race five months ago, pledged to do whatever he can to help the Democratic nominee beat President Bush in the fall.

With Clark's departure, five candidates are left in a field that once numbered 10 -- Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and the Rev. Al Sharpton, a New York civil rights activist.

Dean, Edwards woo voters
Edwards and Dean are stumping in Wisconsin, which holds a key primary Tuesday, trying to convince voters not to jump on the burgeoning Kerry bandwagon.

Despite Kerry's consecutive state victories, the Edwards campaign also tried to raise questions about whether the front-runner was the strongest Democratic candidate.

"Electability is not about winning the Democratic primaries," said Edwards spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri, adding that it's about "being able to win over the types of voters needed in the general election, like conservative Democrats and independents."

Also Wednesday, Dean blasted Kerry over a Washington Post article that former U.S. Sen. Robert Torricelli, a Kerry supporter, helped bankroll a group that ran attack ads against the former governor in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The ad questioned Dean's experience in foreign affairs and featured an image of Osama bin Laden.

Torricelli was forced to drop his 2002 re-election bid in New Jersey after the Senate Ethics Committee admonished him for receiving items from an ally convicted of violating federal campaign laws. A former Kerry spokesman, Robert Gibbs, was listed as one of the leaders of the group, called Americans for Jobs, Healthcare and Progressive Values.

"I'm sorry to see Sen. Kerry introduce those techniques to the Democratic Party," Dean said. "If we have to become like the Republicans to beat them, then I think the Democratic Party needs to change fundamentally."

Referring to a possible matchup of Kerry vs. Bush, Dean also said, "I'm just deeply disappointed that once again we may have to settle for the lesser of two evils."

But Kerry spokesman David Wade dismissed the allegation as "another Dean act of divisive desperation," insisting that Kerry's campaign was not behind the ads, didn't know about Torricelli's contributions to the group and has had no association with Gibbs since he left.

"These inaccurate and indefensible character attacks need to end," Wade said.

Kerry attracts Clark backers
After his victories Tuesday in Tennessee and Virginia, Kerry continued to pick up new support. He was endorsed by Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-New Mexico, and Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine, along with the presidents of 18 unions that, as a group, had previously endorsed Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri. Gephardt dropped out of the race after his disappointing finish in the Iowa caucuses in January.

Also, a movement was under way among the 20 Democratic members of Congress who had endorsed Clark to switch their allegiance to Kerry.

Reps. Charles Rangel of New York and Marion Berry of Arkansas said they were getting behind Kerry and urging other Clark supporters to follow their lead.

"A majority of members who had endorsed Clark will at some point in the near future endorse Kerry," said Berry, one of Clark's earliest and staunchest supporters.

But while Clark's congressional support may be going to Kerry, Edwards said Wednesday that he hopes to attract the general's rank-and-file troops.

Up for grabs in Wisconsin are 72 delegates. To win the nomination, a candidate needs 2,161 delegates. (Delegate scorecard)

Kerry is leading with 516 delegates, while Dean has 182, Edwards 165, Clark 102, Sharpton 12 and Kucinich two. (Full story)

After Wisconsin, comes "Super Tuesday," when 11 states hold contests March 2.

Of course you agree with him, it goes without saying.

Actually, I agree more with Kerry having illegitimate sex than with Che, but that's because of my Frenchness

I think having Torricelli active in one's camp may be a bigger grenade than any intern.
