WASHINGTON -- As Senator John F. Kerry prepared to make a return to presidential-style politics with a classic day of New Hampshire campaigning, he said that the 2004 run left him tougher and more eager to fight.
''When you get knocked on your ass and lose a race, you've got to stop and reflect on what you're doing, why you're doing it, what matters, and what's important. And I did," Kerry said in an interview in his Senate office on Thursday. ''There's a very different John Kerry now who is absolutely crystal clear about how I communicate what I need to communicate. . . . People are going to be looking for leadership."
Kerry's efforts to launch another presidential bid have prompted grumbling from some Democrats, who question whether a second Kerry candidacy would be good for the party -- or even realistic. Some party insiders expect that leading fund-raisers and strategists will push Kerry out before the race starts, in favor of a fresh face for a party desperate to retake power.
But in most respects, the Massachusetts Democrat has never stopped running for president. He has maintained an aggressive financial operation that, since the end of the last campaign, has raised nearly $4 million for Democrats in races across the country, and has sent $3 million of his own campaign funds to help other candidates.

Kerry was in Vietnam? Who would have thought it?
The Democratic primary season is going to be fun to watch. You'll have Kerry, Hillary, Biden, Sharpton, and maybe Algore all on the same stage debating one another. The first debate will be relatively bloodless, with their remarks focused on bashing the Republicans. Once everyone's poll numbers are known, and there's no clear front runner for the nomination, they'll turn on one another. Then the fun will really begin.
I understand. Sometimes I like to look Maseratis. It's fun looking at the unobtainable.
Now he is a political hero too.
This is going to be fun, "Keystone Cops, Revisited" Starring Hilitery, Jean Claude Skerry, and Algore.
Too bad it didn't make him smarter.
That's what I heard. I could be wrong, though. Maybe John himself can shed some light on this.
"Bring him on".
Hey Kerry-Boy....bring it on you Frenchy Fraud!
The debates with Hitliary and Skerry would be delicious!
Not only does he speak of himself in third person, but he changes from third to first person midsentence!
He really looks tough!
Very Classy! Was this pic photo shopped? I don't remember the dress that see thru. :0)
LMAO!!!
...at least she's wearing panties.
