...But the remark that most galls his party critics is his contention that he'd be president today if only 60,000 Ohioans had switched votes - as he put it the other day, "half the people in a football stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on a Saturday."

In the words of Dick Harpootlian, a former South Carolina party chairman, "Hey, what if Napoleon had had B-52s? Then we'd all be speaking French.....

Kerry ping

let me know if you want on or off.

And when President Bush took the oath of office, Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa seated beside Kerry, placed his gloved right hand on the vanquished candidate's spine. He rubbed up and down, repeatedly. And as Bush intoned, "... so help me God," Harkin finished with a pair of gentle pats

This is a disturbing visual.

Perhaps it's just one fake war 'hero' comforting another. Argh.

[silent_jonny]

Failed presidential candidates are like toilet paper--they're not reusable.

[cajungirl]

Well, Nixon came back.

This is a disturbing visual.

It sounds a little gay to me.

[Thebaddog]

I'm getting a visual memory of those cattle call appearances early in the 04 campaign when Kerry stood on the same dais as Sharpton, Braun, Kucinich, Edwards, etal. Now push forward and try to visualize Hillary on the same kind of stage with Gore, Edwards, Kerry,Kucinich,and your name here. Methinks that the boys might just take Hillary down a notch and it could be fun to watch.

[silent_jonny]

That's not the best example.

No, boob, if 60,000 Ohoians switched their votes you would have still lost!

[TexasCajun]

When Hillary has had enough of Sen. Kerry, expect a new call for him to sign Form-180!! hehe

What?? No Barf Alert??

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

At least Kerry has a spine, unlike the con artist who served two terms but never won a majority of the votes.

[Radix]

Glee describes perfectly what I feel when I think of that snake losing.

[Fresh Wind]

If 4600 voters in New Hampshire had switched to Bush, Ohio wouldn't have mattered.

[MisterRepublican]

Dukakis/Mondale in 08!

[Piquaboy]

The voters of Iowa should send Tom Harkin back where he came from next election. Then he and Kerry can lovey dovey each other until their hearts are content.

[sirchtruth]

"Misgivings"

They should be giving him the outright, "Don't come back, ever" reminder.

I honestly think what has happened to the dems is they got sick of having to lie constantly about what they stood for and now are showing their true colors and the country is not gonna stand for such pure anti-american socialistic idiocy on every issue.

[raccoonradio]

>>he is determined to fill the vacuum

Kerry: (to use a slogan Electrolux once did)
he REALLY sucks! :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

"No, Kerry had to go back to his day job - becoming the first (But not the last, Hillary!) losing presidential candidate to return to the Senate since George McGovern in 1973."

That's better.

Yes. We DO have work ahead of us, that's for sure. Kerry came waaaay too close for comfort for me. And to think of Teh-Ra-Zah as our First Lady? E-Gads! *SHIVER*

I'll do my part.
