Yes, whatever power he had was expelled on this election. With the new GOP majorities in both chambers, Kerry will now have about as much power as a Congressional page.

well to be honest.. there still is that matter of a billion dollars.. his wife has.. thats not chicken feed.. but if Kerry tries to make a play for national prominence.. this will only bring out all of the suppressed crap he has thus far avoided. Don't be surprised to see Kerry retire in essence from all but the veneer of serving in the Senate. Expect Mass to have a new Senator next time. This was the end of the Kerry story not another chapter. He has to decide if he wants it to be an expose with the certain humiliation he would receive or a denouement and a graceful exit with large speaking fees.
