WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

That name sounds vaguely familiar. He's so familiarly vague.

Can you imagine a gore/kerry ticket? Could there possibly be a worse nightmare scenario than that? Nightmare? It would be GREAT!! The Pubbie landslide win would break records. Bring it on.

In doing so, Kerry just announced that he's running for President in 2008.

Kerry was already doomed in 08. That man is stupid and he's unlikable.

I think he served in Vietnam... Yes, he ran a secret Christmas mission into Cambodia before he didn't run one...

I know he was already doomed but he is going to run. I think this is the kind of thing that will so ruin his support that he won't even make it into the primaries, though as other FReepers have pointed out this will corral him some DU money.

His opening pitch at Fenway Park wasn't much of an improvement.

To: West Coast Conservative
You have to remember, for us, its not about the fillibuster, its about the cloture. Any Senator can fillibuster anytime they like. We have the burden to muster the 60 votes needed to break the fillibuster. I am worried that when the vote for cloture comes, some of the Dumbocrats that said they would not support a fillibuster will get week kneed and cave to thier red-pantied commrades. Also, if it comes to the nuclear option, I am worried that the same will happen to some of our own. Stay tuned.
