NBCer: Dems Not Answering Kerry's Call

While Sen. John Kerry has made it clear he's interested in running for president again in 2008, party insiders aren't very enthusiastic about the prospect.

"Kerry has been reaching out very aggressively and finding that many of the people that he automatically thought would be on board are not," NBC's Campbell Brown told "The Chris Matthews Show" on Sunday.

Meanwhile, his 2004 running mate, John Edwards, "is much farther along than even many Democrats realize in putting together his team for '08, planning and getting organized."

Among those not "automatically on board" is Kerry's wife, Teresa, who insiders say has vowed "Never again," as far as presidential politics is concerned.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing," a friend of Teresa's told the Boston Herald last week. "She's 66 now ... and you know as you get older, your priorities change. Teresa will never do it again."

Teresa will never do it again

And considering that Tuhrayzuh holds the purse strings, that's pretty much the end of it.

Yeah like finding out where the nearest bar is.

Ah, the allure of gin and raisins.

Well we are going to find out if Kerry is in this marriage for the money. I have to believe that his ego is bigger than the purse strings.

Darn....I was so hoping for a revisit on Terrayzah and her antics. You have to admit, she just made the bid so much more interesting!

Hey, TerRAYzah will be 70 in 2008, maybe they think that will translate into more support from the senior bloc of voters.

(laugh-chuckle-snort)

NOT BLOODY LIKELY.

He was too dumb to anticipate that there might be an organized attack on his candidacy by the SBVT, even though he debated John O'Neill on TV in 1971.

He is too dumb to realize that after losing in November his stock within the Democratic Party would drop like a stone.

How anyone ever thought this guy was smart enough to be president is totally amazing.

No problem...Kerry can dump Teresa and marry Suha Arafat, who may be even richer.

The only thing that made Kerry a somewhat viable candidate was the "hate Bush" contingent. Now that there will be no W. to run against he has to run on his own merits and he has none. Aside from an occassional propping up the Democratic side of a topic on the morning news shows, we won't hear of him again.

Please run again Sen. Kerry!

I'm already looking forward to Inauguration Day 2009.

This is so amusing! John Kerry finding out folks aren't scrambling to support his 2008 bid; the prospect of a Teresa-less, cash-poor John Kerry.

And John Edwards, that sly little fellow, behind the scenes, quietly planning his 2008 bid.

Incredible.

personally i am struck by John Edwards' hubris at thinking himself qualified for the presidency with such a slim resume. shouldn't he be nursing his wife back to health and raising that child he had to have at this late date?

And who is it going to be?

Right now, there is nobody who is really knocking my socks off as both a conservative and electable candidate.

I’ll vote for anybody over the Democrat clown, but I’m still waiting for somebody to emerge as a viable candidate.

Excellent. It would be even better if the positions were reversed.
