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.
The lunatic is on the grass.

Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The wife he can trade for a newer model.
The past will still be the past in 2008.
IIRC, he was furious when he found out that he had alot of money left over. They could have spent it in a final push at the end but instead sat on something like 5 million dollars. Plus, he's still an idiot.
Latern Face is so puffed up with pride and enamored with himself he doesn't realize how deluded he is. He doesn't realize that the majority votes he got were from dead people and the hate Bush crowd. The Democrats could have run a chimpanzee who would have gotten 54 million votes. Horse Face will not even barely make the cut in the Rat primaries next time around.
Once a loser always a loser.
Dems usually don't run a loser the second time.
I'd like to see Teddy run...(entertainment at its best)
I know it won't happen though.
More likely the finger! ;-P
I'll give you another choice, who would you vote for, McCain or Warner?
What does that even mean?
Since when did candidates get to keep political contributions for their own future use?
Cripes, I hope that kerry gets the nod.
Didn't he outshine a company of brave and valiant Swift-Boat war heroes in battle?
I'd love to see Kerry and Hillary fight it out!
I hope he does.
Well, if he's gonna run then he better start revealing all those great "plans" that he had for everything. That way he would have every problem in the world solved by the time he took office. Oh, and he's still an idiot.

He's still going to be the same unlikeable, unprincipled flip-flopper in 2008 that he was in 2004.
If the democrats were serious about what they said in 2000, they should have run Gore again in 04.
To repeat the Kerry campaign seems senseless.
It was 12 million.
Latern Face = Lantern Face
Sorry my typo.
