THIS TIME, it will be harder for John Kerry to have it two ways. He can't be for and against a presidential campaign. The pressure is on to choose: Will he run for president or Senate in 2008?
Kerry can't be a presidential nominee and candidate for US Senate on the November 2008 ballot -- a longshot, but still a technical possibility. The state Legislature and governor could change the law, as Connecticut once did for Senator Joe Lieberman. But that seems unlikely, and Kerry seems disinclined to find out.
Kerry adviser Ed Reilly said, "With the end of the year coming up, the senator has indicated that he will begin to turn his attention" to a decision about '08. "The first step will be consultation with Senator Kennedy and other colleagues," Reilly said.

Kerry's boat sank a few weeks ago. He knows it.
He'll not run....UNLESS....he is a totally deluded egomaniac.

Rule Number One: Massachusetts Hack Politicans don't retire. They are like cockroaches, they don't go away.
I bet you Kerry runs for President, I saw him on Chris Wallace this morning, and he sounded pretty convinced that he would have a shot at it.

Kerry can't be a presidential nominee and candidate for US Senate on the November 2008 ballot -- It'll never work after he put his foot in his mouth about the soliders in Iraq. The Swift Boat episode didn't help him at all and that was based on a he said/they said scenario from people's recollections from years ago. This is way too recent.

Kerry describes his wife as "saucy, sexy and brilliant."
"I mean, I'm cheeky, I'm sexy, whatever," she says.

I hope so too, but this excerp:
"US Representatives Martin Meehan and Stephen Lynch are both considered potential candidates in that scenario. Others mentioned include Joe Kennedy; Christopher Gabrieli, the venture capitalist who lost to Patrick in the primary; and former attorney general Scott Harshbarger."
looks like there is nothing diffetrent/better on the horizon!

Is it true that he served in Vietnam? Yup, and to hear him spin it, he served honorably and he "respects the troops".
But he hasn't really done much since Vietnam, other than marry into money twice.

Here's the problem for Senator Kerry: he's way less popular than Senator Edward Moore Kennedy.
Remember that debacle in Boston in 2004 when he made a surprise appearance at a Yankees at Red Sox game and got lustily booed?
To: MassachusettsGOP
To: MassachusettsGOP
Yeah!
Besides Mr Kerry already "reported for duty" and the Country said:
"NO THANKS!!"
What would be different now? especially after his oh-so-stupid gaffe about getting "stuck in Iraq".
He is now known fully for the bonehead he really is.

Is it true that he served in Vietnam? I hadn't heard that. I wonder why he never mentioned it in his campaign?
