No Really???

What a surprise; one of the major headlines of today is that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) has announced that he will not run for president in ‘08. I am shocked. Did anybody actually think he was going to run again? Kerry’s name brings a shiver down my spine, as it does to Democrats everywhere, especially since we actually thought he stood a chance in the last presidential race. Nevertheless, why did so many vote for him, was it desperation or true support? Yes, I voted for him in the ’06 election, but not because I liked him. For me, it was the lesser of two evils—in the great words of Paul Simon, “every way you look at it you lose…” Let’s just say it’s a relief that he isn’t running again in ’08, let him leave room for someone more, shall we say, charismatic?
