The conservative website, The Drudge Report, recently reported a story regarding a recent probe into the possible sexual affair between John Kerry and a staffer. Now, before you blow the story off because it came from Matt Drudge, remember two things: One, other more “reputable” news sites are backing him up, and two, you laughed at Drudge when he broke the Monica Lewinski story as well, but look at how accurate he was with that.
Regardless of whether the story about Kerry is true or not, The Drudge Report made one big mistake in claiming that this scandal would rock the Democratic primary. There’s no reason at all to believe that Democrats – especially the type who vote in primaries – care one bit about sexual infidelity. After all, they didn’t care about President Clinton’s sexual affair, why would they care about this?
Make no mistake: this isn’t nearly as bad as President Clinton. First, Clinton was in office; second, it was in the oval office; and third, he constantly lied about it.
If one thing became apparent with President Clinton, it’s that Democrats, in general, don’t really care about sexual infidelities. If this were a Republican primary, it may make a huge difference, but as far as the Democratic primary is concerned, I don’t see the results changing that much because of this story.
Prove me wrong, Democrats. Do what’s right, and prove me wrong.
