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.

Who would have thought that getting hit in the rear end with rice in VietNam would lead to a total disengagement from reality.
We can call it RIBS:Rice in butt syndrome?
So Senator Kerry is merely ribbing us!

Great. Now we can all peruse his service records. He has "said" that he already signed the necessary document...before he didn't sign it. Swiftees, your mates are calling.

Didn't he outshine a company of brave and valiant Swift-Boat war heroes in battle?

Oh yea. He was so good, they sent him home after only 4 months. He has (or had) a pocket full of metals without ever spending a single night in a medical facility. Chuck Norris isn't even that good.

Liberalism: A psychological disorder characterized by a complete detachment from reality and a pathological fear of happiness.

Ain't that the truth.

National survey suggests you actually CAN buy happiness [Republicans are happiest]

Hey, I think Bill Richardson would be a very formidable candidate; don't laugh too hard. He scares me.

Stick around and you just might see it. I probably won't last past the first 5 Primaries, however.

I think he has as good a chance as any of them, except maybe Hillary.

The left would slash their wrists before nominating 'ol Horseface again... they'd much rather let Gore have another shot at it.

If Clinton runs... she'll get support from MOST of the Dem moonbats. Sane-sounding snoozers like Vilsack, Warner & Richardson won't get the crazies out'a bed on election-day.

Look for Gore & Feingold to give HRC fits early on in 2008... but when the dust settles(and the FBI files are out) she'll be the last, gender-challenged candidate standing.

This is why any considered to be a conservative can not afford to stay home in 08.

If you think the country would be screwed up by a RHINO then think about how a John Kerry will screw you and the country.

"I'd love to see Kerry and Hillary fight it out!"

..it is most dangerous to stand between Evita and he ultimate goal--Kerry had better go away quietly and stay out of any parks.

Lets hope so.
The only one easier to beat would be ALGORE.
