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.

LOL! Kennedy couldn't even beat CARTER for his party's nomination.
And that was back when the name "Kennedy" wasn't a pejorative term!

He is as unelectable as it gets!

Fantastic - what did Pink Floyd mean by 'grass' in this song? Marijuana?

Interesting take/title but I don't see a thing in the article that states Kerry thinks he'll get the nomination. Lots of speculation by a fundraiser/supporter.

However Kerry may well be the nominee for the democrats. There have been times when one candidate came back for a second try.. However I don't think Kerry can win the General should he be the nominee.... jmo.

Question...

Has anyone ever won a presidential election after being defeated in the general election?

[CougarGA7]

I misread that. I thought it said "Kerry will grow a nad".

Which is equally unlikely.

I've got good news and bad news for ya,John:

The bad news...The Former Twelfth Lady has seen your FBI file *and* your 201 file.

The good news....you're *still* married to over a billion dollars.

Just 60,000.

He just missed it by that much.

But hey, I can see 60,000 people who were philosopically favorable toward W switching over to Kerry in a heartbeat, can't you all?

This guy is so delusional it's almost pathetic to watch him.

[mak5]

How long ago did he promise to sign the SF-180?

This guy is nearly as delusional as Al Gore. I hope they run against each other in 2008. It would be like watching a slow motion train wreck.
