Kerry Still Thinks He'll Get Nod in '08
If at first you don't succeed...
A former top campaign fundraiser to Sen. John Kerry insists that when the smoke clears in the race for the 2008 Democratic nomination for president, Kerry will once again be the party's nominee.
Here's the scenario the aide outlined for NewsMax:
Hillary Clinton is the front-runner and she has the money and the organization to capture the nomination.
Other potential candidates, including Joe Biden, Evan Bayh and Mark Warner, don't have the money and will run out of cash before the race is over.
Not John Kerry, however. He still has millions of dollars left over from his previous campaign - plus the financial support of his billionaire wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, who can afford to pay whatever it might take to keep Kerry in the race.
In the end, then, it will come down to Clinton vs. Kerry.
But Clinton is "too polarizing" to win the nomination, the fundraiser told NewsMax, leaving Kerry to get the nod.
When asked if Kerry himself wasn't "polarizing," the aide pointed out that if just 60,000 Bush voters in Ohio had voted for Kerry instead, the Massachusetts Democrat would have won the election.
"He's a proven vote-getter," the Kerry supporter declared.
If the scenario plays out, Kerry could also wind up as the first Democrat since Adlai Stevenson to come out the loser in two presidential elections.
Love those....got to ping some friends/....
Nixon.
Senator Boring might make someone nod in 08My thoughts exactly. Get, give, what's the diff'? ;')
isn't NOD short for No DemoratIt should be. :')
What do you suppose Kerry would be doing about this:
He would go to the U.N. Dougie told us.
Will he sign a 180 form? Will he submit if he does? Will he allow the unredacted version?
Kerry is probably right in this analysis. And you Yanks who get to vote in this matter had better be d*mn careful. Defeating HillBilly Clinton would be relatively easy. Defeating the Man with the Great Chin will be difficult.
cf Brian Mulroney, Canada's largest Chin ever, won Canada's largest "Conservative" majority of all time. Beware the power of the Chin!
(Actually, Mulroney and Kerry could be twins separated-at-birth: have a look at the photos! (photos, anyone? I dunno how to do those). Mulroney in his time did irreparable damage to Canada. Kerry would do the same to the US.)
Damage. Chins. Coincidence? I think not...
Kerry hasn't experienced anything until the Dragon lady grabs hold of him. If Kerry feels he was attacked by the Swiftees, just wait until Hillary goes after him. NO one stands in her way and comes away unscathed.
Think I'll get some beer and chips and set up my lawnchair to watch this, it ought to be good.
BTTT
Heh heh... hope he retains a good proctologist. Once Hillary officially enters the race... the first pie-hole that's violated by her pointy, witches boot... is his.
If just a few thousand voters in New Hampshire had voted for Bush instead of Kerry, Ohio wouldn't have mattered.
Something sorely missing from the democrat party.
Have never, NEVER heard a top Republican mention it.
"if just 60,000 Bush voters in Ohio had voted for Kerry instead, the Massachusetts Democrat would have won the election."
If Democrats hadn't STOLEN Pennsylvannia through Massive Voter Fraud and Voter Intimidation, it would be a RED STATE today...
They lose by 150K in Ohio and whine about it, but you'll NEVER hear them complain about winning PA and Wisc. through fraud...
"To repeat the Kerry campaign seems senseless."
Unless you're a Dem Politico wonk watching your bank account get smaller...
For Dems, election time is The Great Paycheck.
You don't think all those Limos, Private Jets, and huge waterfront homes come CHEAP, do ya?
