They should limit the primaries in 2008 to those who have run before--McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Gore, and Kerry, and perhaps include those who failed to get the nomination like Biden, Babbitt, Bradley, Dean, Sharpton and Lieberman. The winner of the nomination would be the best of the worst.

[Mr. Mojo]

Kerry has deluded himself into thinking that he hasn't joined the McGovern/Mondale/Dukakis/Gore Irrelevancy club.

He'll be lucky to hang onto his Senate seat, in fact. ......and his meal ticket wife.

In Massachusettes? Not likely. Losing a presidential election never hurt Fat Teddy Kennedy. Then again, neither did murder.

To another lib/Dem, not a Pubbie.

Losing a presidential election never hurt Fat Teddy Kennedy.

He lost in the primaries, not in the general election.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

And he lost to the worst president in the country's history...Jimmah Cahtah. How embarrassing.

[Veto!]

Breaux told CNN television Monday, hinting that Kerry lacked the pizzazz to appeal to a broad-based public.

You noticed.

Actually, great numbers of "broads" they expected to vote for him turned their backs on his pizzazz-free campaign. Nixed his alcohol-and-drug-addled wife as First Lady too.

[Hatteras]

Of course this is assuming that his bag lady is still around to co-sign for any loans...

[BlueMondaySkipper]

Hey, if you're gonna bring someone back, why not George McGovern? Jimmy Carter? Michael Dukakis? Walter Mondale?

Didn't they dust this guy off 2 years ago?

Potential slogans:

We can't lose three in row!

The third time is the charm!

Two losers can be a winner!



Two wrongs make a right!

[AFPhys]

ROTFLMPO ...

The chances of this are even less than those of Hitlery winning in '08

But, anyway, JoKe, BRING IT ON!!!

Schadenfreude is a wonderful thing...

[Verginius Rufus]

In 1984 Mondale lost everywhere except Minnesota (winning there by a microscopic margin) and the District of Columbia. In 2002 he managed to lose Minnesota in the Senate race, thus having a clean sweep of the states. Now if he will just run for an office in DC and get beat...

3 words of advice for Kerry: Swift, boat, vets.

[texasflower]

By conceding too quickly, you mean before january 2005, right?

[gop_gene]

Kerry will NOT get the nomination in 2008, that's one everybody can take to the bank. He may very well run, but he won't get the nod. The only reason he got it this time was by default, he was seen as "electable"--the dems thought his Vietnam background would innoculate him from the dems' achilles heel of being soft on defense.

Also--about 2/3rds of Kerry voters only voted for him because he wasn't Bush, not because of love for Kerry. Any other generic dem would have gotten the same amount of votes. Bush won't be on the ticket in 2008 to run against. Most of the dems couldn't give a rat's a$$ for him, and are mad because, like Al Gore, he blew an election that he should have resoundingly won. He won't have another shot at the big prize.

[ladyinred]

He made a terrible mistake. He actually conceded! His party has decided that you ain't the President until the judges say you are or aren't and then you still argue for years that you were cheated! He is toast.

[Solar Wind]

"Kerry's younger brother Cameron told the Boston Globe newspaper the senator was "profoundly disappointed" about narrowly losing last week's election to President George W. Bush and deems another attempt fully possible.

"That's conceivable," the paper quoted the brother as saying. "I don't know why that (last week's loss) should necessarily be it."

What a hoot. He still doesn't get it. Robert Novak proposed "Is Kerry even Relevant?". His point being that the Dems really didn't care about Kerry or even what he took as positions during the campaign. They just wanted anyone but Bush. Kerry used the Dems, the Dems used Kerry. Kerry thinks he was picked because of him. He was picked because he was not Bush.

This is the height of delusion. He has started his long march to obscurity.

Please. He has done nothing for 18 years and they keep electing him. They will all drink the kool-aid again. I was just up in Boston last weekend. They LOVE him up there.

[altura]

He must have enjoyed his candidacy more than we did.
