Kerry's not running -- how bad is that for BushCo?
This has gotta be the last thing they wanted: an experienced, focused, anti-corruption senator in a safe seat with no reason to hold back and LOTS of reasons to dislike Chimpy.

Plus, the MSM won't have Kerry's candidacy to distract from the many issues he'll hopefully pounce on in the Senate.

I felt terrible when Feingold decided not to run, but he's definitely kicking ass in the Senate. Here's hoping Kerry does the same.

1. That's the only problem I have with Hillary and Obama running...their duties
in the senate and retaining their seats.

3. I have many problems with Hillary running
but the thought of Elliot Spitzer appointing her replacement is not one of them.

6. I forgot that Spitzer is in DA HOUSE! Thanks for reminding me! So I'll
scratch that issue off my list.

7. I heard that
Robert Kennedy jr was interested if the seat is open. No complaints here on that! He would make NY proud, I love the guy.

2. I'm sure he will be.
That was the downside to a potential run: he'd have had to be away and not focusing on the Senate. Like Feingold, he'll have nothing else to do but be the great prosecutor he still is--exposing the bad guys and helping out people in need.

4. Yes, I just think there may be something to this.
Kerry may have said he's out so that he can rip Bush & Co. a new one over the next two years! Lord knows they have it coming to them, and John Kerry is just the guy to do it!!

Kerry may have just given America the ultimate sacrifice - a top job in the White House to protect the Constitution from its enemies. Enemies, which we now know, who are within our own government.
