I don't remember anything with Bob Dole and Larry Flynt but I might be wrong. From what I remember Flynt made some bullshit excuse why he didn't publish the book but he never came out publicly and named any names.
Look, this whole naming names strategy is like one of the oldest bluffs around. Everyone does it because they are trying to force someone's hand. It's a trick and it usually never works.
Jose Canseco has said for years he is going to expose all the MLB players who are on juice, however this has yet to happen. He throws that statement out there because he is looking for a payoff if its true or a to slander someone if its not true.
Don't get so excited about these things. They never materialize.
You mean the Bob Dole thing of doing ads for Viagra is a result of something Larry Flint had on dole?
This doesn't look suspicious at all. No, really, it doesn't. Seriously, everything looks A-OK. LOL.
U-Turn in Kerry sex row
From BRIAN FLYNN
in New York
THE father of the woman said to have had an affair with US Presidential hopeful John Kerry has made a dramatic U-turn.
Terry Polier pledged to vote for the super-rich Democrat after daughter Alex, 27, publicly insisted she had not had a fling with him.
Yet just four days ago, Terry branded Kerry, 60, a âsleazeballâ and said he and wife Donna would NEVER support him.
He said: âI know my wife will not be voting for Mr Kerry, letâs put it that way.
âTwo years ago he was all for gay marriage, now heâs against it. Not that I care one way or the other, itâs just there have been so many things where I have seen him reverse. Whatever audience he is talking to, he will tell them what they want to hear.â
The Poliersâ about-turn sparked fears that they had been put under pressure by leading Democrats, who have hailed Kerry as the new JFK.
Both Kerry and Alex have denied any affair.

No, I probably should not have said any thing, because I don't remember now, if it was bob, or some one else.
But back in the day of Clinton, when the repubs. were talking about BJs and such, one of those repub. guys, was running for a higher office, until story's broke out about his affairs with women other than his wife.
The end result was, he quite politics, and drifted away.
Larry was credited with digging up the dirt.

February 18, 2004--President George W. Bush now leads Massachusetts Senator John F. Kerry by five points in the latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll. As of this morning, Bush attracts support from 48% of the nation's likely voters while Kerry is the choice for 43%.
Today's reading is the largest lead for either candidate since John Kerry became the Democrat's front-runner. For most of February, the two candidates have been essentially even. Three days ago, Kerry assumed a modest lead that now appears to be statistical noise.
Kerry enjoyed an enormous bounce from positive coverage during the Primary campaign to draw even with Bush. However, in the race for the Democratic nomination, he lost ground among Democrats nationally over the past several days.
The Rasmussen Reports Presidential Election Survey is updated daily by noon Eastern.
The electorate that Bush and Kerry are trying to reach has a generally positive view of American society. Sixty percent (60%) say that our nation is generally fair and decent. Another survey found that 64% prefer smaller government with fewer services and lower taxes.
A related survey shows that South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle holds a slight lead over Republican challenger John Thune in what is likely to be one of the most closely watched campaigns this season.
At the national level, on the key issue of managing the economy, the candidates are practically even. Forty-six percent (46%) of voters prefer Bush on the economy while 44% prefer Kerry. Rasmussen Reports updates this issue comparison on a weekly basis.
While Kerry holds a modest lead in the latest poll, Bush is seen as the better leader by 46% of voters. Just 35% see Kerry as a better leader than Bush.
In recent days, Rasmussen Reports has released data showing who voters trust more on key issues ranging from the economy and national defense to gun control and affirmative action. We also found that voters trust Kerry more than Bush on the issue of controlling government spending.
Another release provides a look at voter first impressions of the two candidates. While Republicans want to present Kerry as a Massachusetts liberal, just 37% currently see the Senator a politically liberal. A narrow plurality see him as a moderate.
Rasmussen Reports measures the nation's economic confidence on a daily basis. Perceptions of the President's economic management and overall approval ratings often move up and down in synch with the confidence of Consumers and Investors.
One critical issue in this year's election is job creation. A report issued last week shows that 31% of American workers say their firms are hiring at this time. Only 16% are decreasing their workforce. The number of workers worried about losing their job has fallen to the lowest level in a year.
Finally, Rasmussen Reports looked back to see how John Kerry became such a dominant front-runner so quickly after trailing just about everybody in December. Kerry was helped enormously by the fact that his rivals all built strategies designed to challenge former front-runner Howard Dean.
In terms of earning the right to face Bush this November, Kerry is far and away the top choice of Democrats from across the nation.

For the record, during y2k election campaign, Bush consistently had 5-7 extra points in Rasmussen Poll compared to any other poll. The last day before the election Bush had 5-7 point lead vs Gore in Rasmussen Poll while other polls showed statistical dead-heat. Rasmussenreport is as accurate as FNC is fair and balanced.

For the record, Kerry dropped 6 pts in one night!!!! Spin all you want, Kerry's momentum is waning. He is losing momentum to Edwards in the primary and he is losing momentum in the general election. Keep in mind, 90% of the public has no idea who Kerry is and what his voting record is, once they find out, watch out, he is going to fall like a rock.
I was not spinning, just tried to point to the fact that Rasmussen report is biased and has serious credibility problems. I'll believe that Kerry dropped 6 points when it's reflected in independent and credible polls.
Personally I prefer Edwards and do think he has a better chance winning the elections then Kerry. Actually I have little doubt either of them will win, but Edwards will win with a bigger margin.
