Kerry to postpone decision on '08 run
Boston Globe ^ | December 2, 2006 | Rick Klein

Associates say 'joke' fallout stunned him

-- Senator John F. Kerry's election-eve "botched joke" about the war in Iraq -- and the fierce denunciations his comments drew from fellow Democrats -- has led him to reevaluate whether to mount a run for the presidency in 2008 and has led him to delay an announcement about his decision, according to Kerry associates.

The Massachusetts Democrat is now leaning toward waiting until late spring before declaring his intentions, even as other candidates jump into the race and begin building organizing and fund-raising teams in early-primary states. Before the joke derailed his comeback, Kerry had signaled that he would decide whether to run by the end of January.

He decided he may or may not run before he decided he may not or may run.

In the old days, that would have passed into history without any notice. Thank God (I do) for talk radio, bloggers and people with cameras and sound equipment who hold everybody accountable.

John Kerry is an idiot, he goes to Nam with a camera, he was ther for 4 months and gets a purple heart for a scatch on his leg. What a disgrace to all the brave men whio have given 1000 times more and declined the purple heart.

John Kerry is a self centered, narcassistic grand stander that thinks he is better then anyone else because he has his wife's money so he believes he is worthy.

John Kerry is an America Hater that wants everyone to live the way he believes but won't do the same for himself...He was protected in Nam because Kennedy had him put in position where he would not be in much danger, the Swiftboat Guys protected his sorry ass.

Anyone that takes a camera in to war is there to document his "Heroic Actions" all so he can say he is a HERO...what a loser, he is a paper hero...faked medals and all.

The swiftboat vets waking up fellow vets to Comrade Kerrys true record was the only reason he lost.

Never ever underestimate the capacity for voters to be stupid.

Remember they voted Comrade Clinton in twice.

He's counting on the American people to quickly forget everything he has said or done lately. In a few months, he will be fresh again and present a more conservative image, sort of like Pelosi and Obama.

And the American people remain clueless as they restlessly await the next choices they are given on "American Idol".

His coming in last place in the preference poll this week didn't inspire confidence in Jon Carry, either.

He started a joke, that started the whole world laughing....[at him].

He had been entertaining, especially in 04, with all the silly photo-ops.

Alas, now we have Nancy Pelosi and her clowns to entertain us.

Sorry, Jon Carry, your 15 minutes appear to be up.

"What a dumb-cluck. And to think this was the best presidential candidate the Democrats could come up with for 2004...and Al Gore, before that. Frightening."
No kidding. Think how close it was for these 2 treasonous idiot traitors to being elected. Scary.

And then of course, we still have all the Dim idiots still bitching and moaning about the "stolen" elections of 00 and 04.

Obama is another popular potential dim Presidential candidate who won't fly with the American people. I can't imagine anyone voting for a muslim while the WOT is engaged.

Translation: Kerry has to make several calls to his major fund raisers to see why the money has dried-up, and if the tap will ever be turned on again. If not, he's done for.

The guy to the left in the picture is Schmucky Schumer. The guy on Dingy Harry's left is Patty "ObamaMama" Murray.

You got it right, that guy is Patty Murry (Marxist from Washington State) not being allowed to have her "domestic partner" with her, whom of which was attending NOW demonstrations in D.C.
