The scandal brewing over Bush's military record has the potential to trump anything they can dig up about Kerry.
Bush used his connections to avoid combat, but then he didn't even do a half-assed job in the guard.
This alone isn't a big deal and hasn't been a big deal, until...
1. His foreign policy of "pre-emptive" war radically broke with American tradition of fighting mainly defensive wars of necessity
2. He started a messy expensive war of choice based on complete bullshit
3. He blatantly exploited the war and his war-related credentials for political gain (the aircraft carrier, etc.)
Since Bush himself promised, on national tv no less, to release his FULL military record, he's big-time fucked. Right now they are refusing to release the full record, which will create persistent credibility questions. Or they can release the full record, which common sense tells you will make Bush look ridiculous standing next to Kerry, a decorated combat veteran.
Next to this mess, no one will care if Kerry fucked an intern.
