Behind the scenes, Kerry apparently has been having doubts, calling current and former Democratic confidantes to inquire just how much his gaffe hurt his presidential chances, according to several Democrats who spoke on condition of anonymity because the conversations were private.

Kerry, who turns 63 later this month, had been planning to announce a comeback campaign in December or January. He had thrown himself into helping his party reclaim Congress in the midterm election, campaigning for roughly 80 House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates.

This article has a lot of Rats "speaking on the condition of anonymity." WOO HOO!

Also note Carry is going to try to follow in Algore's footsteps by flacking the "environment" in a book co-written with the Missus.

Kerry just doesn't get it. Despite all his antics, despite all his claims, despite all his attempts to the contrary ...he just doesn't understand that it is he, himself, who is the botched joke.

Yikes! Talk about someone who just doesn't get it. His arrogance is as astounding as his stupidity.

I guess Teddy hasn't thrown him overboard yet.

I'll join you. We should start a 'Freepers for Kerry' club, dedicated to getting John Kerry the Democratic Nomination in 2008!

Won't matter who we nominate, he'll crush John F'n Kerry.

I have no problem with Kerry running again. There are some positives to it.

There would be some temporary corporations created by it and therefore some jobs. With more campaigns will come more jobs, more spending, and more spreading of the wealth.

More radical left campaigns will provide more fodder for us to attack. And Kerry will provide a lot of material for us FReepers. I miss the good old days of "swift-boating".

The "environment" is already Boy Al's schtick, Monsieur. I think Kerry would have a lot of catching up on his dope smoking to come up with stuff like Al, anyway.

Does this mean that he has signed his SF 180?

All the unresolved '04 issues will re-emerge if he's DUmb enough (redundant, I know) to run again.

Can't wait for it. The debates between him and Hillary will be classic!!

To be fair, there's lots of competition for that title, and he has done a very good job of it.

Did he get a Purple Heart for it. Isn't it amazing that he has no REAL issues. So he has to make up one to run on. People in Mass. who voted for him must be really REALLY stupid.
