Kerry could be party's top voice

WASHINGTON -- The last time a Massachusetts senator won the White House, his Republican opponent, Richard M. Nixon, went home to California in 1960, regrouped, and came back and won the presidency himself in 1968.

But more often than not, a failed presidential candidate never gets another opportunity to run for the White House.

In one sense, that leaves John F. Kerry, fresh off his loss in the 2004 campaign, facing the grim prospect of returning to the place from which he began: his seat as the junior senator from Massachusetts. At the same time, some senior Democrats see a rare opportunity for Kerry if he is willing to grasp it.

With the defeat of Tom Daschle as Senate minority leader and further Republican gains in the House of Representatives, Kerry retains his status as titular head of the Democratic Party. He is more recognizable nationally than Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, who is expected to replace Daschle.... [cut]

However, that means that he would have to show up for work

[d19thdoc]

That also would mean that he'd be back in the spotlight with the campaign fresh in everyone's memory. He got out just in time before the bad discharge and Vietnamese Communist leash was exposed. Having just narrowly escaped exposure, I doubt he will want to put his head up out of his silken bunker any time soon. My guess is he will keep his mouth shut and his ass covered until 2008, when he will come unglued in public frustration on behalf of Billary, as bug-eyed and bearded Gore did in 2004.

BTW, ain't is amazing how Kerry's MSM secritariat did not wait two days to start up the left-wing cheerleading again.

Look for more of this type of "in your face" pap from the Globe et al. To acknowledge John Kerry's now exposed blatant dishonesty and treachery would be to admit their OWN complicity in this preposterous and monstrous fraud. The Globe is "Unfit For Publication".

For whatever it's worth (and it's not much), there are some very interesting parallels here between Chirac and France, and Kerry and this notion of a Kerry/Massachesetts-led liberal nation.

Both camps are yearning for what they perceive as former glory days when they were actually relevant.

I don't think for a minute that Kerry will become the spokesman for the democrats.

The Clinton's have stacked the DNC with their people. The MSM still loves and supports both Clintons. All of the democrat talking heads on the various networks support the Clinton's.

We might as well accept the fact that it will be Hilary in '08.

Lesson from history -

What Kerry can't accomplish ligitmately, through ordinary political means - he will do in an underground fashion.

You can bet your bottom dollar that liberal mechanisms are already in motion to sabotage U.S. success in Iraq. The next four years will be characterized by heavy anti-war protests and every effort to intensify the demoralization of the war on terror - and, Kerry and Kennedy will be the grand architects behind it.

My guess is that Kerry will seek a deeper role with United Nations - like his protoget Adlai Stevenson, Jr. - the great liberal internationalist - using the tactics of Allard Lowenstein - another hero of his. Kerry will probably create a "Dump Bush" movement.

The difference between the Nixon era and this time around - we will have our watchdog media and conservative talk shows reporting and exposing their every move - so, the liberal left will need to focus on discrediting these agencies as well - there will probably be a rash of scandals.

Yuppers, the next four years is going to be quite something - better dig in deep!

I believe that it would be GREAT if JF'ngK were to win leadership of the Demo's in the Senate.

Wait, wait, wait, my intentions are good, I swear!

The last thing we want is for him to fade; the higher his profile is, the easier it will be for us to hit hard, and have the necessary coverage of the event!
