LOL thanks for the laugh. Richardson couldn't even deliver his own state to the Rats.
One of the first things Republicans should do is expand the tax cuts (lower tax rates, not credits or deductions). Watch the Dems squirm and Kerry flipflop.
Mr.Kerry will first have to survive the traitor trial which should be starting soon, now that the election is over.
Kerry, whose ONLY experience as a "leader" was with the VVAW, will go back to the Senate in his capacity as chief chair duster - keeping the dust from collecting on his chair, but not much good for anything else.
His fellow Dems might expect him to "take the lead" are asking a wheel of limberger cheese to become a rose bush.
Ain't gonna happen.
Besides, we win more elections as long as the "team" of Clinton/McAuliffe are calling the shots.
If you look at it that way, Kerry was a good choice for the Dems; he got them that close. They may run him again with a bit of correction for 100K in Ohio. A regional running mate for instance.
He'll hold court like a president in exile. Plenty of people will go along with the charade, especially the lickspittle Europeans.
I hope he does...it will further erode support for the democrat party.
Arnie siad it best: "Why should I listen to losers?"
He is still going to have to answer to the charges of aiding and abetting the enemy brought on by Winter Soldier and the Swifties. The media will not be able to keep passing on this now. I for one am looking forward to his answering these charges and am equally sure he will be raked over the coals by his party for losing. They are looking for any excuse to explain their loss. Kerry's past offers the single most viable explanation and gives the rest of them a pass on their own failings.
Well, if this week's vitriolic editorial comments are any indication, his constituency lost interest in his guidance before Wednesday afternoon's concession speech.
"Kerry would be the person that could help him accomplish that, but if not, there will be a hunger for someone to stand up to Bush."
If Kerry doesn't offer a conciliatory tone, it'll be one more nail in the Democrat coffin. The country is more united behind this president and his agenda (as evidenced by the congressional gains) than they have been in a generation. More of their same partisanship will only hurt their party and show them to be dividers, not uniters.
Plus which, how much of the heartland or the nation really wants to rally behind the junior senator from a liberal east coast state...in opposition to a popular sitting president? He never really scored well with democrats...he was just the most viable "anybody but Bush" on the ballot.
..and you forgot, a "prized Senate Fench Poodle" for ThereeEEEEEsa to walk around with. :)
Snort. He'd have to show up first.
this require Kerry to actually show up and want to work... and want to work hard... i highly doubt this will happen...
please--Richardson's a crook... too much fodder... at the most, he'll use his "crookedness" to deliver NM...
but i do believe that the RNC needs to reach out to Latino voters NOW... we cannot wait until January 2008... and it has to be ongoing...
Plus, Richardson will get crushed due to his association with the N Korea Oil for No Nukes scam.
Bush has no reason whatsoever to speak with kerry.
It's really up to the Democrats to speak with him and decide whether they want to give him an imporant role.
It's unlikely. Why would they give an important post to a man who never shows up for work? Moreover, a man with no real power base, who was mainly a sock puppet for Teddy Kennedy in the war of Kennedys vs clintons for control of the party? Teddy needed Kerry because Chappaquiddick makes it impossible for him to run for president. But he certainly doesn't need him to take his place as a power broker in the Senate.
I agree with the vets. Kerry has to be brought down totally. We need to keep after him to sign Form 180.
GO SWIFTIES!
We have got to finish this traitor off NOW once and for all to see him for exactly what he is...
Even the many of the Dems in the end will be glad the liar lost...
imo
