Kerry: I'm not worried about claims of affair

From Anthony Harwood, US Editor


PRESIDENTAL hopeful John Kerry yesterday rubbished claims he had an affair with an intern - and vowed to "fight back" against smears.

And he accused the Bush campaign of doing "anything" it could to deflect from the president's poor showing in the polls.

Kerry, 60, was accused on a right-wing website of a relationship with journalist Alex Polier.

There is no evidence they had an affair but her father, Terry, 56, has branded Kerry, dubbed the new JFK, a "sleazeball".

But Kerry, who is riding high in the polls, yesterday said he was not worried about the report. He added: "There's nothing to talk about. I'm not worried about it."

Polier has been tracked down to Africa where she is believed to be on holiday with her boyfriend. She has refused to comment.

Democratic insiders insist the claim is a right-wing smear.

They claim the timing is significant because Bush's job approval rating has slipped to a new low amid questions about the Iraq War and the economy.

In a head-to-head contest Kerry leads Bush by 51 per cent to 43.

Kerry also leads Bush in four of the six key voting issues -health costs, jobs, the economy and education. He seems to be cruising to victory in the Democratic Party nomination after 12 wins in 14 states.
