Kerry looking ahead to '08

According to the AP, John Kerry (whom, of course, I supported in '04) is positioning himself for another run at the White House in '08.

And why not? He won't win, but what's wrong with giving it another go? After all, he almost beat an incumbent president in a time of war. There are better candidates out there, but if he ever got his convoluted, nuanced positions together... Okay, that's a huge if... Still, he remains a credible candidate with a solid record and I see no reason why he wouldn't be a welcome addition to the ranks of the leading Democratic contenders once again.

For more (and for uniformly negative views of Kerry as a potential candidate in '08), see The Moderate Voice (which explains the many problems of a Kerry run); Shakespeare's Sister (who thinks it's over for Kerry); AMERICAblog (which similarly thinks it's time to move on); and, on the right, Captain's Quarters (which doesn't think Kerry has a chance).

(See here for a post on Gore in '08.)
