Democrat John F. Kerry plans to use his Senate seat and long lists of supporters to remain a major voice in American politics despite losing the presidential race last Tuesday, and he is assessing the feasibility of trying again in 2008, friends and aides said yesterday. Kerry will attend a post-election lame-duck Senate session that begins next week and has said he is "fired up" to play a highly visible role, the friends and aides said. Aides said Kerry is relishing the prospect of renewed combat with President Bush, fighting such measures as the president's proposal to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. Kerry has spent the better part of the past two years on the campaign trail, meaning that his return to Capitol Hill will be something of a reintroduction to colleagues. Kerry's plans contrast starkly with the approach taken by former vice president Al Gore, who all but disappeared from the political scene after losing to Bush in the disputed 2000 presidential election. Kerry fueled talk about a 2008 bid during remarks at a Washington restaurant Saturday night. He provoke a thunderous reception by reminding about 400 campaign aides and volunteers that Ronald Reagan twice sought the Republican nomination for president before winning it in 1980. "Sometimes God tests you," Kerry told the crowd at H20, a restaurant on the Potomac waterfront, according to an aide. "I'm a fighter, and I've come back before."

"Yes, nice to meet you Senator, ah, Kennedy is it?"
No fooling? Kerry served in Vietnam? And he was an altarboy? I hear he is a senator too even though no one in the Senate has seen him for two years.
Someone might want to remind him that there are hundreds of thousands of Viet Nam veterans including the Swiftees who are not finished with the Traitor yet...
We may have helped to keep him out of the presidency but we won't be satisfied until he is out of the Senate too...
and possibly not even satisfied then...
Payback is a MF!
The 'Rats in MA should start looking for a replacement.
And if the Republicans in MA have any balls at all they just might want to come up with a credible candidate.
Semper Fi,

Maybe he'll wear his Elmer Fudd outfit to the first day of Senate. He'll have 2 #2 pencils (sharpened) and a box of Kleenex.
Maybe Teraaaaaaaaza kicked him out of Boston mansion, so he had to move into Wash. mansion and figured that while he's there he would go visit Uncles Teddy, and Tommy Harkin.
I want to see him start fighting Bush again, he did it so well the first time.
With Dashele's defete the position of Minority Leader is open. Since the demonRATS thought Kerry enough of a leader to be President, why don't they offer him the Minority Leader position. Seems a no brainer to me, but you just know they won't even consider it.
That's the unpleasant little thought that I keep pushing to the back of my mind.
"I'm an ex-presidential canditate, but I'm usually not recognized (since I'm so forgettable). That's why I carry the American Ex-Pres...idential card. Don't leave your twice mortgaged wife's home without it" (NOTE: submitted just for laughs.)
Wasn't he in Vietnam?
I hope someday you find the Lord. This is a poor attitude for an American adult.
"Sometimes God tests you,"
Yeah, and sometimes you fail.
Sheesh, this is such a puff piece. It the entire press corps as Metrosexual as M. John "where's my effing hairbrush" Kerry?
If anyone thought we could let down our guard against these RATS they were wrong.
The press is absolutely remorseless and clueless, the dems are more determined than ever, and we can't count on all the lefties to leave the country.
Too bad I'm a boomer, I'll be fighting this horde until the day I die. I just hope my (theoritical) grandkids can grow up in a normal world.
defete=defeat
What a fraud.
"I was actually hoping he would follow the example of his grandfather and suck on a revolver in the mens room at the Copley Plaza Hotel."
Kerry is a slacker pansy fighting off unknown diseases which sap his strength. He is more likely to do what you suggest, than he is to mount a sustained battle in the Senate.
He has never done a thing in his entire life more strenuous than picking at his butt, and he isn't going to start at the age of 60.
LOL!.. :))
"That's why I carry this, the American Express card."
Fraud was the main reason. And the media delivered on its prediction and added 15% onto sKerry's 33%, looking at the intellectual wasteland of people who believed the dung he was selling.
The Kevin Beacon "Thank you sir, may I have another" scence from Animal House comes to mind here.
