"How come Kerry, as well as Lieberman before him, was never forced to resign from the senate the way Dole was when he ran?"

There was a lot of pressure on Dole to give up his position as majority leader, but it came as a surprise to almost everyone when he also resigned from the senate. I don't think there was much, if any pressure for him to do that.

I always thought he returned to life after the baron stitched all his parts together.......

Hi All-

Senator Kerry has simply gone back to persecuting gunowners, sponsoring anti-gun legislation, trying to re-write the Constitution so the Second Amendment can be deleted, plus a few other pet projects he has on the fire.

Wouldn't it be great if he beat Hitlery out for the DU nomination. Can't you just see it...(Saluting-sort of) "Reporting for duty, and this time I'll get it right."

We could run Donald Duck against him and win.

How come Kerry, as well as Lieberman before him, was never forced to resign from the senate the way Dole was when he ran? I don't mind Lieberman in there, but I wished Kerry had been forced to leave when he ran for president, so we wouldn't have to see his mug anymore.

Dole was not forced to give up his seat or leadership position. He chose to, it was the honorable thing to do. Dole was campaigning and it was hard for him to also be majority leader at the same time. He gave up the leadership post, but also gave up the senate seat because he had integrity for the institution and for the country.

I know you certainly don't think Kerry has any of those traits, so the question itself is moot. Liebermans case may be worse, he actually ran for the senate at the same time as running for VP, its pretty clear he really was hedging in case Gore lost.

"Do I find it some mark of failure or distress, the answer is no."

How about rejection, then?....:)

[Melinda]

Hey guys, heads up. That's what he did in this state. He doesn't give up easily or leave gracefully.

[ladyinred]

Returned to the Senate?
Oh, so he's doing nothing again?

Why did Kerry find the need to remind the Fox questioner that Ohio is still counting votes? He is such a dork.

BLOODY STEM CELL RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sign the SF180 Kerry!! We still want to see if you are even qualified to be a Senator. We don't think you are under US law as it stands today.

I still chuckle every time I see a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker

I do, too. And I allow myself to gloat - just a little. And since there are soooo many Kerry stickers around here, I'm chuckling and gloating quite a bit.
