Anyone remember how the fallout from the 'Whitewater' scandal undermined the Clinton administration...?
The whole basis for that was a consiracy by a bunch of young, Republican, think-tank geeks who dreamt the whole thing up and chucked it on the web...
The whole Whitewater 'scandal' was a very well executed dirty-tricks ploy, made possible by both the US's incredibly lax libel laws, as well as people's ability to publish utter crap on the internet, with more or less absolute impunity...

Very nasty - this is the problem (we all saw it coming) of the Internet and My Space, You Tube etc... it provides quite a powerful forum for political or media outlets who want to spread poison without getting their hands dirty or into legal problems... stories nobody would touch with a bargepole can gain a foot hold via the Internet and viral marketing.

Rumours flying round the USA (I wonder who started them??!!) claiming Obama had gay sex with a guy while he was on crack cocaine !)

Don't worry Pete - even if she wins everything that's left she will not catch up.
I predict that the Democratic Party big-wigs will pressure her to stand down within the next couple of weeks so they can present a candidate and get the campaign under way ... the alternative is that they slog it out right till the Convention (end of August) and let McLoony (and the Neo-Con Repubs) get a six month head start !
