Kerry Still Thinks He'll Get the Nod in '08

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.

Kerry thinks he'll get the Dem nomination in '08 huh? One can only hope. But then, I wonder if it would be as easy to defeat him the second time around as people think?

Kerry is either drunk, high, or having flashbacks.

Earth to Kerry - your past that sank you in '04 will still be your past in '08.

Great example of liberal deep thinking.

Not quite sure what he's been smoking lately but unless he is going to change his name to Hillary, I don't see him getting the nomination.

...if just 60,000 Bush voters in Ohio had voted for Kerry instead...

But this time around they won't have to vote for either Kerry or Bush. And what makes Kerry think he would get any formerly Bush voters?

Nobody wants a loser. Well, maybe the Dims might want one, since they have so many of them.

I served under Richard Nixon, and believe me John Kerry is no Richard Nixon.

Forget David Gregory

Kerry needs to sign Susan Estrich (as in Ostrich)
