Cameron Kerry, the senator's brother, said that he's "not going to just walk away and lick his wounds."
Having succeeded beyond belief with the Democrats' selection of Kerry, Divine Intervention may once again play a role by offering up Hillary for sacrifice in 2008. The Clintons are gifts from heaven that keep on giving.
Donna Brazile as McAuliffe's replacement would be, pardon the mixed metaphor, icing on the Clinton cake -- though I recognize it's too early for dessert.
like the vets say this isnt over ...... and wont be untill their all gone to jail or another country.
As I say, he can't even show up for work on a regular basis, so how much power can he wield?
How can he go wind surfing if he has to spend all that time in the senate? Working is beneath his dignity.
Gov. Richardson would, IMHO, have the best shot at winning in 2008. Hispanic, southeastern state, Gov.
The power to put everyone asleep with his constant droning?
>"I never thought in my lifetime I'd see a Democrat run on a platform of strong national defense," said Jenny Backus, a Democratic consultant.<
This from a member of the party who brought us FDR, not to mention Harry Truman.
How far they've fallen.
LOL.
There are few things more pathetic, and more powerless than a defeated Dammocrap presidential candidate. Just ask Al Gore, Mike Dukakis, Walter Mondale, Jimmy Carter, George McGovern.
"But another major reason Mr. Kerry was unable to close the sale with middle-class voters, advisers said, was that the Bush-Cheney campaign succeeded - with Mr. Kerry's help - in making him seem somehow alien and too far removed from the lives of those voters to understand them."
"For Mr. Kerry, and the party, there is an old lesson here worth relearning, the strategist said: "There has been and continues to be a common tendency of Democrats trying to reach people through their brains and Republicans through their hearts. And in politics, hearts win the day."
Maybe. But, take a lack of vision, The non-Plan, and a complete disagreement with the politics of the left: redistribution, nannyism, and trying to foist every contradictory social attitude that irrational people believe onto a rational citizenry, my mind said, "Hell NO!"
"Kerry would be the person that could help him accomplish that (bipartisanship), but if not, there will be a hunger for someone to stand up to Bush."
Mike McCurry still doesn't get it. Instead of "we have to find a way to work with Bush...to take part in his agenda" it's all about "we have to make him do things our way or we'll make sure nothing gets done at all". That's a sure- fire way for the dems to lose more seats in '06. Preach on, Mike, preach on!
The N.Y. Times is backing Bill Richardson for 2008 and just wants Kerry to cause some trouble for Hillary.
"What, like work? I don't think McAuliffe would like that and besides, it would cut into my polo and sailing time."
Gore receded from the national limelight because of pressure not to undermine the "legitimacy of the presidency"?!
Bush will have to deal with Kerry, or else?!!
What the hell?
This reads like it was written by a child, who is naive about politics, or a Democrat shill. Who isn't.
We should never stop asking until he does.
"...Several Democratic strategists argued that the best role for Mr. Kerry outside the Senate would be as a forceful Democratic spokesman and critic on foreign affairs and national security, which are his policy areas of greatest comfort and which dominated the presidential campaign..."
Wait a minute! I'm sooooo confused!! All through the campaign, I thought the MSM told us the domestic issues were his strongest policy area!!?? Wasnt that why everyone said that the first debate, on foreign affairs and national security were Bush's strong point? Hmmmmmmmmm.
Let's see....he spent twenty years in the Senate and never lead on anything....We know know that during the campaign he would call people to "ask" them what he should say about issues (even calling DON IMUS).
If Kerry "leads" in the Senate, it will be the first time in his life....oh,wait, that's right, he can call France and ask them what he should do in the Senate, and THEN lead.
"If President Bush indeed wants to earn the support of people who supported Kerry, then he'll probably have to deal with Kerry," said Mike McCurry.
Unfortunatly, unlike the president, Mr Kerry has not accumulated any political capital, and therefore has none to spend. It should also to be noted, that all the power in the world is useless without direction, and Sen. Kerry has clearly demonstrated that he has no guiding principal. Therefore his leadership will only leave the dems flip flopping in the political wind.
