Kerry says he still wants to be president
AP ^ | November 17, 2005

Senator John Kerry says losing last year's election hasn't soured him on wanting to be president.

Asked if he wanted to run again in 2008, Kerry says it's too early to say. But he added: "Would I like to be president? Yes, obviously."

Kerry made the comments today on C-N-N.

The senator says he won't base his future presidential ambitions on whether other Democrats like Hillary Clinton join the race. During the interview, Kerry also said his vote authorizing President Bush to use military force was a mistake.

He says he'd change his vote knowing what he does today.

He voted for it before he would vote against it.

The Clintons will sweep him aside like trash. - They are. after all, experts at trash removal.

It would be nice to see a Dem primary of Gore, Kerry, Dean, and the Hildebeest. Cannibalism at it's finest!

Gee John, I'd like to be a multi millionaire, but that is not in the cards for me and neither is the presidency for you.

Oh, for cryin' out loud, these people are always bobbing to the surface like floaters in the john. No wonder they demanded the country use low-flow toilets.

HA! The only reason Kerry got as far as he did was because the other nominees kept going insane and becoming unelectable, and then the media promoted him out of their hatred for Bush. There is no reason why he should have gotten so close in the first place, and I don't think the leftist media would get behind his nomination again.

Side 1:

Asked if he wanted to run again in 2008, Kerry says it's too early to say...

Side 2:

...But he added: "Would I like to be president? Yes, obviously."

Not a flip flop...its nuance: he's not sure he wants the bother, but he sure wants the power.

Kerry says he still wants to be president:

Correction:

Kerry thinks he still won the 2004 election, and believes that he should be sitting in the White House instead of President Bush.

Edwards is a lightweight, he has no shot.

Now, watching the fans of the Gorebot (stolen election 2000), SKerry (stolen election 2004), and Hitlery (wife of St. Bill the Unfairly Impeached) should be entertaining. The Dem convention may be a freak show of unprecedented proportions, and that's saying something.
