"He's back. Actually, he never even left. John Kerry, according to reports in The Boston Globe and The Washington Post, plans to have a prominent role in the Democratic Party. Apparently he's contemplating a political action committee and think-tank to help define the party's future. And, according to those around him, he's also considering another presidential run in 2008.
"Our reaction to this is . . . how to put it? Well, here goes: No. Please. Stop.

"Kerry's inner circle has come away from the election apparently convinced that he represents the aspirations of nearly half the country...
Above quote is precisely the reason I don't subscribe to TNR (well that and they once employed She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named). If TNR is consigning John Kerry to useless, and using all the SCLM talking point to do it, then they have officially as hell reached the lower depths of partisan hackery, right underneath the whaleshit...the honored position of Ass-wipe of Choice in the Camp David Five-Holer.

....and george bush is a genius. or is that geenyus?
Just as those who are so critical of John Kerry's service in Vietnam never served themselves, those who critize his campaign for president don't have the courage to run themselves. In my view, Kerry rose to the occasion not once, but twice, to serve his country by fighting an unpopular war. The odds were against him this year as much as they were against him in Vietnam- but he persevered, he didn't quit, and he told the truth. Who else would do that??? I, for one, say "Thank you John Kerry for "reporting for duty" when no one else had the courage to.
