Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) slipped in an early jab at potential campaign rival Al Gore yesterday. At a breakfast with reporters in Washington, he was asked if he thought the man who lost to George W. Bush would run again. "I just don't have a clue," said Kerry. "Somebody told me the other day that the Republicans are concerned that he won't run."
Kerry quickly adopted a less snarky tone when pressed on why Republicans would say that. "I don't know," said Kerry. "Somebody in the Republican Party said that to me. I think Al Gore is a very smart, very capable person. And he fought hard to the best of his capacity in the last race and bowed out with great grace.
"He certainly has the right to decide that he wants to make another run at it," Kerry went on. "But I think I have a right, as others do, to decide that maybe [Democrats] have something else to offer."
Gore spokesman Jano Cabrera responded that the ex-veep hasn't decided whether to run, but "I wholeheartedly agree with Sen. Kerry that Al Gore is a very smart and capable person." NY Daily News
BWAAHHHAHAHAHA! Yeah, after 36 days of filing court challenges and denying members of our military their rightful votes!! John Kerry is such a maroon! I sure hope the Repubs. in MA get their stuff together and start grooming candidates to take on Teddy the Swimmer next time and Mr. Theresa Heinz after that!
