14. I agree. Very odd.
It does not look like Kerry to me.

4. Agreed
I just don't think he fought hard and long enough to ensure that every legally cast vote was counted. At least Gore fought through the courts.

I donated twice to the DNC during the campaign, and I feel like I want my money back, because I don't see any evidence my money was put to good use.

Oh, he fired Mary Beth, Donna, and Terry? I hadn't heard...

5. I think the whole point of his interview...
is summed up in the headline where Kerry..."looks at his plans for another run"...

All he is worried about is HIS political future. The Democratic party needs leaders who are interested in the health of the PARTY and the success of our agenda, not their own narrow self-interests.

Kerry manages to disappoint me again.

9. Kerry 08......NOT!
I doubt very seriously that I could support Kerry's candidacy in 08. I really like him personally, and I felt like he deserved to be President.

But we need someone who, when the rubber meets the road, will really FIGHT for us, and not just pay lip service to ensuring that all votes be counted.

After 2000, a lot of Democrats said "We won't allow a stolen election ever again." And once again, they failed us.

15. and, there's not a lot of talk by the dems about the
real reason Kerry lost: election fraud. I will not give a dime to the next Dem candidate and will write in Dean as a protest if need be until the Dems address the real issues: bad DNC leadership and the fact it was so easy for the system to disenfranchise Dem voters.

10. Nov. 11? This is stale menudo
"But on Nov. 11, nine days after the election, Kerry summoned a NEWSWEEK reporter to his house on Boston's fashionable Louisberg Square. "

If Kerry gave this interview two months ago, the question is, why did it take them this long to publish it?

And. . . what ELSE has Kerry said that we haven't heard yet?

12. Totally agree.
I actually like Kerry, but he really screwed the pooch by voting to give the chimp the $87bill and then not telling the world that he was misled by the chimp too. Also, no evidence that he made a preemptive concerted effort to monitor all the major precincts for fraud when we all knew it was coming two years in advance.

He would not get my vote in '08, along with any other repube-lite dem (ya hear me Hillary?).

16. Right on.
The second Dem president in two elections who won't get sworn in. Hillary will not get my vote either since I never want to see Bill, who I like, back in the White House. Not for the BJ, but for nafda. How Bill gets the freak off is none of my concern. Americans loosing their jobs is.

Clinton review: won the presidency. lost congress. his behavior made it more difficult for Gore to win the election. this current win-at-any-means administration who came to power engineered it so that Kerry couldn't prove he won.

This is the Clinton legacy politically. No, Bill, you never lied to the American people about anything job-related. However, your personal conduct will screw up progressive politics for years and years. This group is in power and aim to keep it.
