Kerry says he deserves 2nd chance in '08

1 hour, 29 minutes ago

Sen. John Kerry says he deserves a second chance if he decides to take another crack at becoming president.

The Massachusetts Democrat, who lost to President Bush in 2004, said it is a basic principle that "Americans give people a second chance. And if you learn something and prove you've learned something, maybe even more so. Now, I don't know what I'm going to do yet. We'll make that decision down the road."

Ronald Reagan twice unsuccessfully sought the GOP nomination for president before he got it — and won two elections for the White House.

"John McCain, their leading candidate — didn't he get kicked around South Carolina by the same president because he wasn't patriotic enough as a prisoner of war? He's now their leading candidate for president," Kerry said of the Republican Party. "Richard Nixon seemed to get kicked around pretty badly both running for president and governor, turned around and came back and got elected president."

Kerry faces a major challenge trying to convince Democratic activists that a recently defeated candidate can still carry his party's hopes for recapturing the White House.

Not only that, there is a HUGE difference between not winning the primaries and not winning the Presidency.

What a poseur.

The only good thing with both SKerry and Hillary going for the Dim nomination is that Kerry's entire military record will suddenly surface....

I often wonder what today's population of South(ern) Vietnam thinks of the USA after thirty years of communist rule. How do they feel about the party that managed to get the rest of the country to abandon them? How does the VN government filter the news from America? Is there enough Internet there to make any difference?

If democrats really believed John F. Kerry was "the real deal", they'd give him a second chance in 2008. But they didn't.

What I don't understand is that it makes him seem so petty. It seemed the same way with Al Gore.

It's just weird. The good news is it won't go anywhere.

John Kerry says he is serious about running again in 2008. He’s already practicing his concession speech.

They need to learn that winning the Presidency is not a personal entitlement.

They've been so lied to that the country loves Democrats. The country wants another camelot, another Jimmy Carter that they can't possibly accept that lots of people don't like them.
