Kerry Still Running
2005-02-23
After nearly drowning in a sea of red states, John Kerry is keeping his head above water and is making it clear that he has no intention of disappearing beneath the waves despite his loss last November.
That'll teach him to take driving lessons from Ted Kennedy
As the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday, unlike Al Gore, who the Times recalled virtually disappeared for months after the 2000 race, traveled to Europe, grew a beard, ate 9,000 donuts and gained weight, Kerry hasn't done any of these things. Instead, he climbed back up to Capitol Hill, reclaimed his seat in the Senate, and, as the Times, put it, is "working hard to fashion himself into something rare in American politics: a presidential also-ran who isn't an afterthought."
Who're they talking about again... I forget.
Moreover, he has been sonorous outspoken on such hot issues as health care, electoral reform and military preparedness and helped spearhead the failed attempts to prevent Senate confirmation of both Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state and Alberto R. Gonzales as attorney general.
That worked as well as his campaign

#18  MoJO- He has plenty of money to run or Thersa can finance him! I was in Boston for a job interview and saw a t-shirt "Bend over and fart- Kerry is all wind". DO you get it?

#14  Frank G - Bill Bulger (former Mass. Senate leader) has an acronym for JFK - 'Just For Kerry'.
Kerry's infamous for selfish behaviour - too bad that didn't make many headlines during the race; I'm sure Rove was involved somehow...

#13  ex-lib, the idea JFnK would do ANYTHING to benefit someone other than himself is laughable

YEAH? RUNNING?

But does he still have that yellow plastic daisy goody attached to the zipper on his jogging suit?

#10  IMHO: Just a smokescreen to keep conservative talk radio/bloggers focused on Kerry instead of Hilary--who doesn't want the heat just yet. Closer to the election, he'll fade out and Hilary will "emerge."

Despite his fli-floppy Clintonesque poll matching behaviors, Kerry remains remarkably consistent on things that matter, like helping "spearhead the failed attempts to prevent Senate confirmation of Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state . . ."

Like introducing two more bills in the Senate over the next 20 year span? Don't want you to rush anything now...

#5  Lol, DN - perfect characterization!

#4  Now, now, folks. Be nice. Perhaps in the next 4 years, Mr. Kerry will actually be able to figure out what he really stands for. Or maybe he won't. Then again, maybe he...what was the question?

#3  Josh Marshall has Kerry for President in 08 wristbands (blue silicon for $1) advertised on talkingpointsmemo.com.

Some people's heads are just too hard for words to describe...

Kaus has been making fun of Kerry lately comparing him to an old boyfriend who is hanging around his old flame thinking he still has a chance.

You got to be kidding here. Is this a long pole of encouragement or what?
