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.

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.

I think you are wrong.

Tomorrow will tell, IMO; if he shows up to grill Condi Rice, he's not going into hiding.

FWIW, I still believe we will shortly be hearing one of his classic "anti-war" speeches from the floor of the Senate; he's got one he's been making since he attacked Lyndon Johnson when he was a senior in college; he's been using the same text since then, so all he has to do is change the names to Bush and Iraq.

One of the most cogent points I've seen in a long time!
