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.

I don't know, he's pretty modest. I doubt he'd want to talk about it.
Nope that was the real thing. If I remember it correctly she wore it to the Cainnes Film festival.
Yeah that will be great entertainment. There are 3 or 4 factions in the Dim party : the Klintons, the Kerry/Kennedy faction, the Algore/Dean faction , and maybe a small group of so-called moderates(Warner/Byhe) . None of them like each other , it will be fun to watch . The big question is who will win the power struggle ?
Has IT signed the form 180 yet?
You forgot the DU split that supports Dennis Kurnich or whatever his name is.
I just don't remember the panties. She must have been mortified! Oh, I forgot she's a dimorat, anything goes.
A "fresh face" is not the phrase I would use to describe Mrs. William Clinton.
Most of them suffering from Kerry's stab wounds in their backs
.....and led two major filibuster efforts: to block oil drilling in the Alaska wilderness
Thus making us MORE dependent upon the sheetheads, GOOD MOVE, JERK.
and to stop Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. from joining the Supreme Court.
Boy, Kerry really showed us his stuff there - didn't he?
FAILED AGAIN...
"I am a much better public person-slash-candidate as a consequence of that [campaign.]"
Perhaps, but you're still an asshole that hasn't defined WHAT you WILL DO TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION!
Semper Fi
LOL! Nope, she's not fresh. Ugh!
"Mother, tell me again about how I shall be President one day."
The real meaning in the fact that Kerry, and others, are actively positionign themsleves for 2008 is that they feel there is a good chance that Hillary won't make the race..
Well I sort of figured they (DUngers) would be in the Algore/Dean far lefty wacko faction .
Look far far away Girly man the country cannot afford to keep you in hair spray!
"Says loss in 2004 made him tougher"
Yep, he is willing to go for his 4th bandaid!
it's pityful that the Boston Globe every few weeks has to do a story on Kerry to remind us he still exists,, this freaking Dork is on coma watch
be interesting to see if the writers were bribed with free skiing vacations at the Heinz's to keep him on lifesupport in the press?
just not a pretty site
I have had the feeling for years that a whole lot of Democrats simply DO NOT LIKE Hillary Clinton personally.
That picture is awesome.
Shamelessly stealing it to show the wife :)
