Well, it's entirely possible that Kerry will go on being a Senator from Massachusetts for many years after this all blows over. And I've got to agree that it would be deliciously ironic if he got his head handed to him in a fight he didn't even need to start. Doubly so, since that's exactly how he lost the 2004 election (IMO) -- he made his service record, the weakest spot in his whole life, the center piece of his campaign. A man who does that has a blind spot and somehow I don't think he's learned from the experience.
...and, after he (Kerry) did all that FOR us, what does that say about us, we who cannot seem to even' pull down the wounded ones?' That the 2004 election was as close as it was, speaks volumes to how far we, as a country, have fallen. Kerry may have been the exception which proves the below 'rule', but sadly, certainly not by much.
