The final strike against Kerry is his perceived inability to take a firm stand and defend it -- especially on the war in Iraq.

Most Demorats were flabbergasted at Kerry's infamous "I actually voted before it before I voted against it" gaffe when asked about his decision to support the use of force resolution but oppose President Bush's request to fund the initial phase of the war. Kerry has gone to considerable lengths to make up for the ambiguity of his stance during the 2004 race (calling for the majority of American troops to be withdrawn from Iraq before the end of the year). But the calls of "flip flopper" have a permanent place in the minds of many aggrieved Democrats who remain unconvinced that Kerry could effectively foil that charge should he run again.

If Kerry chooses to remain on the sidelines in 2008, he would be courted relentlessly by the declared Democratic candidates for his endorsement, not to mention the massive e-mail list that he built up during his 2004 bid.

The question for Kerry is would he rather be the courted or the courter? We should know his final answer in the next nine months.
