Sen. John Kerry Keeps 2008 Options Open

By ANDREW MIGA, Associated Press WriterMon Jan 2, 3:55 AM ET

It's almost as if Sen. John Kerry never stopped running for president. He still jets across the country, raising millions of dollars and rallying Democrats. He still stalks the TV news show circuit, scolding President Bush at every turn.

His campaign Web site boasts of an online army of 3 million supporters.

The Massachusetts Democrat, defeated by Bush in 2004, insists it is far too early to talk about the 2008 race, but some analysts assume he has already positioning himself for another shot at the White House.

"Obviously, Kerry has all but said he wants another crack at the thing," said Neal Thigpen, a political science professor at South Carolina's Francis Marion University. "He's going to make a second try."

While most losing presidential nominees quickly fade into the political landscape, Kerry has worked hard at maintaining a high public profile.

"He's continuing the fight he began in 2004," said Kerry spokesman David Wade. "He wants to make it very clear he's a fighter who is going to continue to fight for his agenda."

Borrowing a page from Republican Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record)'s 2000 postelection playbook, Kerry has kept much of his presidential political organization intact. He has also used his fundraising prowess to aid Democrats across the country, collecting chits that could be called if he seeks the party's White House nomination.

"He believes in his heart and soul that he came just a whisker away from being president," said Ronald Kaufman, a veteran GOP operative with Massachusetts roots.

and refuse to join in the demand to oust the traitor from the US Senate?

I like the old tried and true method for dealing with traitors.

Line 'em up and ask 'em if they want a blindfold.

Of course, Ramsey Clark would STAY overseas, and Kerry would hop on his cute little boat and flee.

*grrr*

[xzins]

John Kerry is a traitor to his nation, and as the heir of the Kennedy wing of the party, he is extremely dangerous.

[moose2004]

I can't wait to watch Kerry, Hillary, Gore, Biden, Warner, Edwards, Richardson and Vilsack go at it. It's going to be great theater watching them rip each other apart. GO GEORGE ALLEN!

I hope I was pinged to #85 for informational purposes only.
I'd hate to think I was in someone's reticle while they are waiting to get 'tone'.

[stockpirate]

I for one am hoping beyond hope that Kerry runs for POTUS in 2008, PLEASE DO.

I will finally get to read the FBI files on John Kerry because Hitlerery Clintoon will 'leak' them to the press.

That will be sooooooooo coooool.

Let us pray that he runs.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

"I hope I was pinged to #85 for informational purposes only."

Yes, you were.

[Beckwith]

Where will he get the money.

He can't afford to pay the $6,000,000 mortgage he took out on his (and her) Louisburg Sq. home.

If it does get paid off, I would love to know how.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I thought so. Just checkin'.

[Gucho]

some analysts assume he has already positioning himself for another shot at the White House.

[swmobuffalo]

Kerry needs to be brought up on charges of treason and then shot.

[vigilante2]

thanks for the ping

[OneLoyalAmerican]

What exactly is his agenda? I seem to remember he had a plan...

It's on the website. BTW, did you know Kerry was in Viet Nam?
