John Kerry Surfaces...

In New Hampshire as usual.
He is also giving interviews to the Globe and hurling such thunderbolts as are available at George Bush and his 30% approval rating.

Seems like Kerry is in the race for 2008.
And what the hell, he has a fair shot at it.
Oh I know, you all hate him for losing in '04...I read all the popular sites on the internet, the very name "John Kerry" sparks venom equal to that spewed at Bush himself.
And of course, the smart money is all on Hillary in 2008, the Stirling Newberry's out there are all sighing, rolling their eyes and calling it for McCain in any match up with Mrs. Clinton.
Well what does Humble Elias know? Only that plenty smart people with very smart money indeed end up on relief.
Now, you don't hear much about it yet, but there are plenty of movers and shakers in the democratic party who are "uneasy" with the inevitability of Hillary C.
These are the same people who might end up with Kerry on the simple grounds that our Junior Senator is well funded, well known and not a dynast.
That is one scenario, and to be honest to win next time Kerry is gonna need a lot of luck and most of all an issue.
What that issue would be is pure conjecture at this point.
But Kerry is unafraid and unbowed and that at least is a start.
A lot is going to happen between now and 2008 and history laughs at those who think they've got the next election pegged.
Hell, John Edwards is out in the reeds polishing his accent and sharpening his claws.
If the democrats do well this fall, say retake one or more of the chambers of congress, that might fuel a boom for DNC Chair Howard Dean who'd be seen as an architect of victory.
If we have a good year, then the democratic governors are gonna want a piece of the action as well. The smart thing for them to do might be to coalesce early around one candidate as the GOP governors did in 200.
Bill Richardson for President?
Tom Vilsack?
Conversely, if the democrats can't overturn the GOP's control of congress, that may drive a few bigfoot Senators out onto the Presidential hustings. The sheer boredom of a perpetual minority status alone may get Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd into the '08 race.
John buddy, if you are reading this, forget for a moment, Bush, Cheney, McCain, Rove & Norquist and reflect on an issue. Something big something simple something they aren't getting from the current regime or anyone who yearns to succeed Bushco.
That is what is needed now.
