KEENE, N.H. - Moments before Sen. John Kerry shows up to campaign for a local politician at a backyard rally here, voter Sue Borden wrinkles her nose at the mention of the man who lost to President Bush.
“You get one chance,” the Democrat tells a reporter. “If you can’t win, then it’s time to let someone else try.”
But less than an hour later, after she meets Kerry and listens to him deliver an impassioned speech from a wooden deck, Borden softens and says she would consider voting again for the Massachusetts Democrat.
“I always liked what he stood for but felt that he was very snobbish and arrogant,” she says. “He’s not that way. People told me I would change my mind once I met him. And they were right.”
It is not clear whether Kerry will have enough time to personally meet and convert every disaffected Democrat in the nation by the election of 2008. But he appears determined to at least counter the conventional wisdom that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., has all but locked up the Democratic presidential nomination.
“I don’t buy it,” he said in an interview with The Examiner this week. “You know, people sit with you and talk with you here, and they’re going to make judgments about who can be president. They’re going to make judgments about who can run.
“I think I’d be a good president,” he adds, sitting on the wraparound porch of an old house in Keene. “I don’t care what the dominant, conventional wisdom is today; it will not be the dominant, conventional wisdom in a year.”

Bring it on!!!
Please, nominate Kerry again. Show you're as stupid as you are stubborn.
I needed a laugh this morning. Thanks for posting this.
What makes Kerry think that NOW he is the new and improved version of his Incompetent Self? It won't work the second time around either...maybe he has the cheating down to an undetectable science now.
Oh God help us!
I wonder if she could tell you one thing he does stand for. I don't think this guy has one opinion or principle he isn't willing to change. He doesn't stand for anything.
What next ? Earthtone John ?
OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... Better yet - Pick ALGORE as your running mate Ketchup Boy...... Oh and don't forget to mention you have a plan. Also, mention you were in Vietnam, I don;t think too many people know that about you.
Hanoi Traitor Kerry for Prez!

Oh no..this is going to be a repetitive theme with Kerry till the day he dies, regardless if he runs for president again or not.
I hope people will continue to ask him if he's signed those papers to release his records yet.
Tell us, Senator Kerry, what just one of those lies was? Can you point to one specific factual misrepresentation by the Veterans?
He wont get the chance. My prediction is that its gonna be a slug fest between Hillary and Gore.
Hah! He stands for a bunch of bumper stickers. It's easy to talk bout "justice", "leveling the playing field", "helping the poor", "equal rights for all", "creating jobs". The devil is in the details. Kerry doesn't have a clue on how to fulfill those platitudes so he'll have to hire the devil.
Rough tough giggolo. He sure has me scared...............
