WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

Kerry is looking for love from KOS. He's following everything they say like a puppydog. He wants to run in 2008 I bet you.

He continues to demonstrate his political tin ear.
Also been hearing he's thinking about running for POTUS again.
Brilliant, John, you've been doing such a good job of demonstrating your effective leadership skills ever since November 2004, I'm sure the American people now realize what a huge mistake they made.

"3 Dems will vote for Alito. Johnson, Byrd and Nelson. 2 Dems say they will vote NO on a Confirmation, YES on Cloture. Landreiu and Slazar. THAT'S 60 VOTES."
So what does the "independent" Jeffords get for supporting a Rat filibuster?
Shame that 5 Democrats are more willing to break a filibuster than 1 "Independent."

Just talked to Kerry's office in Boston....
I was told that Reid is on board for the filibuster - but calls need to be made to Landrieau, Salazar, Johnson, and Byrd BY EVERYONE no matter your location.
FEELS GOOD TO HAVE A SPINE AGAIN!

Appealing to the lunatic left didn't get him elected last time. What makes him think he'll get to be President in '08 by doing the same old stupid things?

Senator Kerry calls for a filibuster while safely far away in Davos, Switzerland with most of his liberal friends. Is there something wrong with this picture?

Kerry's best helper is Wolfman Blitzer. He has been hyping the theme all afternoon.
