Kerrey says he won't take Democratic chairmanship

BY JAKE THOMPSON


WORLD-HERALD BUREAU
WASHINGTON - A band of Democratic governors seemingly out to stop Howard Dean recently tried to draft Bob Kerrey into running for the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee.

But the former Nebraska senator and governor said Tuesday that he has all but rejected their entreaties to join the contest.

It isn't wise, he said, to try to thwart the fiery former Vermont governor and presidential candidate. Dean is among a handful of Democrats campaigning for the post, which will be decided in a vote next month.

"It does feel like a 'stop Howard' effort," Kerrey said of the outreach by governors he declined to name. "I don't think that's a good idea - stopping anybody."

1. I'd like to see those names

$10 bucks says Rendell and Richardson would be among them.

I agree with Kerrey, it's not wise to stop someone, especially someone who could do a lot of good where it is desperately needed.

5. I love Kerrey. Of the Swift Boat Vets he said

"Oh fu*k them" then he told the reporter that quote was on the record.

That guys got some spunk and common sense, just like our man Dean.
