Kerry will drop out of the Presidential race before the primary season even gets underway.

1. He doesn't want to give up his Senate seat.

2. He won't sign Form 180 and he'll be skewered all over again by the Swifties.

3. He won't release the diary he loaned to Douglas Brinkley to write his biography, "Tour of Duty." When John Edwards came on board the campaign, he was told to suppress all discussion of the diary because, in it, Kerry boasted of meeting the "terrorists" from North Vietnam in Paris.

The Democrats (and the media) will keep him either out of the race or minimized in it.

[BIGLOOK]

The real records on Kerry aren't held by BUPERS. They're in ONI and FBI files.

As to the matter of donations to the VVLF in this case, remember that Kerry has millions at the tip of pen. But he can't match a substantial number of pissed off VN Vets who wish to see his downfall.

Oh.....and he can't handle the Truth!
