WASHINGTON -- As Senator John F. Kerry prepared to make a return to presidential-style politics with a classic day of New Hampshire campaigning, he said that the 2004 run left him tougher and more eager to fight.
''When you get knocked on your ass and lose a race, you've got to stop and reflect on what you're doing, why you're doing it, what matters, and what's important. And I did," Kerry said in an interview in his Senate office on Thursday. ''There's a very different John Kerry now who is absolutely crystal clear about how I communicate what I need to communicate. . . . People are going to be looking for leadership."
Kerry's efforts to launch another presidential bid have prompted grumbling from some Democrats, who question whether a second Kerry candidacy would be good for the party -- or even realistic. Some party insiders expect that leading fund-raisers and strategists will push Kerry out before the race starts, in favor of a fresh face for a party desperate to retake power.
But in most respects, the Massachusetts Democrat has never stopped running for president. He has maintained an aggressive financial operation that, since the end of the last campaign, has raised nearly $4 million for Democrats in races across the country, and has sent $3 million of his own campaign funds to help other candidates.

"Last spring, he authorized the release of his full military records, finally addressing an issue hammered home by the ''Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," the group whose attack ads battered Kerry's candidacy."
Does anyone know if this is true?
It'll be fun to watch Obama fend off the suitors. Hill will be wooing him for VP, and so will Kerry. Kerry dropped Edwards from his speed-dial.
...I took part in in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harrassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machineguns.

Where to begin? At the usual place, the dichotomy that characterizes this horse's posterior. With a single sentence, he juxtaposed 2 personae - There's a very different John Kerry now who is absolutely crystal clear about how *he* communicates what *he* needs to communicate (but the jackass said 'I').... People are going to be looking for leadership --> and you're going to provide it, doofus? We think not.
yup , AOL had a poll earlier today, that wasn't going her way
... Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton was expected to be TheOne by only 38% , ...

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Never laughed so hard at all the pics of him being his old goofy self! Can't wait!
It is only true in that he gave them to a single journelist that then proclaimed there was nothing wrong with his records.
That journelist was his biographer.
Go ahead John, run again, go ahead, I dare ya.
tougher? sure thing, I don't see how it couldn't.
Smarter? LOL yeah right
