Trying evaluate Kerry's chances - I'd say better than Gore because Kerry didn't whine as much and better than Hillary because he has lower negatives.
I thought Kerry was a terrible candidate because of his constant flip-flopping on every issue, but I would actually get some kind of satisfaction from watching him wipe the floor with Hilary in the Democratic Primary Debates. She is such an inept public speaker and so lacking in charisma that I think she has no chance of being nominated regardless of who runs against her. I have a feeling Chucky Schumer might pop up in the primaries and take the nomination. I cannot really think like a Democrat, but this is what my instincts tell me.
much and better than Hillary because he has lower negatives.
Put him in a lightning cloud then!!!
But if Hillary decides to run, Hanoi John had best watch his back. She might call on one of her old Arkansas Mafia friends.
I'd agree with you in a heartbeat, except for that Kerry/NH appearance on C-Span a few weeks back. Small room, party faithful...and they weren't jumping with joy about Kerry. He has to win NH to have credibility, and they treated him as if he had leprosy. When the speech (he groveled), the lackluster, lame applause ended, he leaped off the dias and tried to press the flesh...(he was being filmed.) He found three people willing to speak to him. Everybody else ran like rats. Camera was merciless, panning over empty chairs, tables, and that big red EXIT sign over the door as people ran for their lives. He has to be discouraged. (Plus, they'd introduced him as 'Senator Kennedy'. He said it happened all the time. Ha Ha.)

If Kerry runs, you can bet that the 180 that was never fully released will expose Kerry as a traitorous buffoon who got 3 purple hearts because of a piece of metal in his tushy.
His 20 years of ineffectiveness will be bandied about by the Slimes as Hillary only has 6 years of ineffectiveness, but she is getting there.
