What the heck is going on? Daily summary required

[democracy eh]

What the heck is going on???? I check in to DU tonight for the usual lively banter and the whole place has gone bizzarro world? Drudge, Interns, the wrong kind of conversations with Clark, a Clark endorsement, a $100 Clark plaque, a Clark stalking horse for PNAC?????? Plus all kinds of great stuff breaking about AWOL, the dentist, more officers not remembering,,,

and very little of this in the mainstream media...

AHHHH

can someone please summarize or is this all a Rovian plot to cause a collective breakdown at DU? a co-ordinated assault by the members of the secret board a Free Republic? my head is spinning.

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

1. The primary is now in full swing, and the repukes are fully

engaged.

That's the summary.

12. some serious political monkeywrenching afoot

wwwaaaaaayyy to many potentially inflammatory and divisive 'news' stories floating about

someone is trying really, really hard to get Dean or his supporters to go 3rd party.
someone is trying to stall the Kerry mo'
someone is trying to simultaneously discredit Clark as a force in the party, f*** up his supporters and deflate whatever is going to happen tomorrow in Wisconsin.
I have seen nothing in particular about Edwards so I have no idea what is in store for him


So this is primary season eh?
It is going to be a long, long time till November

I guess I better join the club and put on my :tinfoilhat:

2. Drudge has supposedly broken a story of a Kerry affair...

Some Dean and Edwards folks are really pissed because Clark will endorse Kerry tomorrow.

Drudge is reporting that Clark, during his own campaign, had said that Kerry will implode over the intern issue.

Drudge claims that Kerry began having an affair in 2001 with an intern. Go read it yourself.

For the other one you'll have to hold your nose and go to Drudge.

13. Please keep in mind...

...that the Boston Horrid...I mean, Herald is a Murdoch rag. I'd like to see some more substantiation of this charge from a non-Faux source before I give it much credence.

9. In a nutshell

All the vultures that have been swarming the widows of Clark are extremely wigged because Clark will be endorsing Kerry tomorrow. That explains the PNAC et al crap.

Previous, Drudge pulled a little Clintonian-slam on Kerry.

A day in the life of the politically addicted DU'ers.

11. It's crazy and

I hope it calms down soon.

14. I just want a press release from Kerry, denying these accusations

I mean, my sixty year old father was telling me on the phone this evening that I should go check out that 'dudge website' had news about JFK that was really bad news.

If my old parents know, how long will it take to diffuse this type of accusation. John Kerry really needs a war room to handle these type of shots as they come. They'll be coming for sure when the GE begins.
