Kerry 'thinking hard' about 2008 run for president

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said on Thursday he was seriously thinking about another White House bid in 2008 and will decide before the year is out.

"I will make that decision toward the end of the year, but I'm thinking about it hard," Kerry said in response to a question at the Latin Economic Forum at the United Nations.

"If you can get help me find 60,000 votes in Ohio ...," he joked, referring to the close race in that state on which his 2004 loss to President Bush hinged.

Kerry, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, has criticized Bush on a range of issues, particularly the war in Iraq.

On Thursday, he focused on Latin America, saying Bush lost interest in the region after the September 11 attacks.

"Relations between the United States and Latin America today are at their lowest point since the end of the Cold War," Kerry said.

Other Democrats seen as potentially seeking the nomination include U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and Kerry's former running mate, John Edwards.

"If you can get help me find 60,000 votes in Ohio ...,"

Or if only someone could get him:

A) Catholic votes (his non-Catholic opponent got that vote).

B) War vet votes (good luck!)



Work harder getting moonbat votes Kerry - it's your best shot.

Kerry's thinking hard about whether or not to go whining to Ter-AY-za and beg for a larger allowance..... Kerry's thinking hard about whether or not his butler can be his VP candidate..... Kerry's thinking hard about whether he can nail a few models and actresses before the campaign really gets underway....... Kerry's thinking hard about putting a refurbished swift boat on the Potomac so that he can hold media events on it..... Kerry's thinking hard about lots of things, but probably nothing that's of value to our country.

He'll be running for the Presidency after running against it.

Adali...

Historically a candidate who runs twice almost always (including Nixon in 1968) does worse the second time. William Jenning Bryan ran three times and got a smaller percentage of the vote each time. Adali Stevenson got 44% in 1952 and 42% in 1956. I think Dewey did better in 1948 than in 1944.

"""If you can get help me find 60,000 votes in Ohio""

this is an urban legend that refuses to die..Kerry lost by 120,000 votes, not 60,000

How can Kerry be thinking? I thought every Democrat was going to lay down for Hillary and let her take the nomination.
