For weeks now, I've been saying that Kerry thinks this and arrogantly acts like it, not realizing that he had his one shot in last year's ABB contest. Hence, his Europe trip and offer to counsel W. Pride before the fall. Watch: when the time is right, the SwiftVets' claims will be revisited by (what's left of) the MSM and will be found to have merit when the time is right...
Probably right. People wondered why Russert asked about the 180 after the election. We should have understood that is a signal the MSM will make a huge new "discovery" about Kerry they were "unaware" existed in '04. If he runs, and he's planning to, his traitorous past will be uncovered. He'll be destroyed by his own.
IMO, if I were the Dems, I'd knock Kerry off in '06 and install a new youthful Dem that will follow the party line without question. He's a liability and MASS is an almost lock for a Dem Senator. Doubt they'll do this since Kennedy runs MASS and sees Kerry as his only heir.
