Kerry's Failure
By Matt Margolis at 08:09 AM
John Kerry's failure to convince his fellow Democrats to filibuster the nomination of Samuel Alito proves once and for all his irrelevency politics. It wasn't too long ago when he was his party's presidential nominee, and now he doesn't have the clout to get 40 of his colleagues to join him in a filibuster, which, if you believed his rhetoric, would have prevented return of segregation, slavery, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of women.

No, it didn't happen. A mere 25 voted to sustain a filibuster. Just like Ohio in November 2004, Kerry didn't have the votes. The moment Kerry's filibuster failed so handily was the moment his political career got flushed down the toilet. John Kerry may not be ruling out another presidential run in 2008, but his party certainly ruled it out for him.
