    Sen. John Kerry says he deserves a second chance if he decides to take another crack at becoming president.

    The Massachusetts Democrat, who lost to President Bush in 2004, said it is a basic principle that "Americans give people a second chance.


    Kerry faces a major challenge trying to convince Democratic activists that a recently defeated candidate can still carry his party's hopes for recapturing the White House.

    Why? So he can conceed in the primaries?

    If you can't reign in the DNC you don't deserve to be Prez.

    Not gonna happen

    That's the best he could come up with?

    I'm putting my support behind Mr. Obama.

    Don't take Hillary so lightly. She's much stronger than you think plus, in all honesty, I think she fights back better than most.

    If Hillary runs, she gets the nomination. She's too well-connected and would have a huge fundraising advantage over the other candidates. The only thing that might stop her in the primary is the fact that some people aren't ready for a female president, especially in these turbulent times.

    I think people are ready for a female president; I don't think that will be the issue. I think her stance on the war will cause her to have trouble with her base; ala Lieberman. She could very well win a general election; it's the primary she'll have trouble with.

    Same problem McCain will have getting the Republican nod.

    Also, Bill's trysts could be a MAJOR distraction for her campaign.

    I can see the adds now, "If she's not strong enough to reign in her man, how can she reign in terrorists?"

    The funny thing is that I see the same problem for Giuliani. I think he'll fare well in a general election, but he probably won't make it out of the GOP primary. It's somewhat ironic, because Hillary, McCain and Giuliani are the alleged front-runenrs in their respective parties.

    The press likes them three years out = frontrunner.

    They would all three be better, probably, than whatever two losers actually get the nominations.

    Bush Versions 1 & 2, Dukakis, Clinton, Dole, Gore, Kerry are the absolute BEST this country could come up with for, what NEARLY A QUARTER CENTURY now??!!!

    , if you think about it, since LBJ - the only presidents or major-party candidates with ANY charisma whatsoever have been Reagan and Clinton!!! That's 44 freaking years!!!

    And Reagan was pre-Alzheimer's, and very slowly developing disease.

    Accurately described - and yet, vs. Mondale? - looked like the Energizer Bunny!
