I believe Kerry has lived his life dreaming of the importance that being President would confer upon him. He tries but cannot avoid reality, and knows that his quest is now a long shot. I believe Kerry is running for President in 2008. I also suspect Gore is too. Would Kerry accept Secretarial position if he is shut out? If he thought he could get the Vice-Presidency he might view that as just the ticket he needs now. The plotting, planning and scheming going through his mind have to be crippling for one with his intellectual capacity.

John Kerry or Mark Warner. Take your pick. And with a reform-minded democratic congress behind them. Much brighter days lie ahead. And Hillary probably won't even run. Though if she does, she will be finished after the first few primaries, despite whatever war chest she has. She is not Bill. Bill could win by a landslide. Hillary will lose no matter what.

Kerry's motto: Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach. Those that can't teach work for the government. Those that won't work for the government, marry for money.

From: tonto 2 Recommendations Read Replies (2) of 84947 about Kerry's legal career... III. Kerry's track record as a prosecutor, 1977-1979 Certainly Sen. Kerry's website gives the impression that he spent years and years of fighting for victims' rights and locking away the badguys. That's true — if by "years and years" you mean some number less than three. Kerry was a licensed practitioner and prosecutor from December 29, 1976, through sometime in the early spring of 1979. I suppose you could count the months Kerry spent while working in the prosecutor's office after graduation and before his bar results came in. You might even count the months he as a "student prosecutor" while still a third-year law student at Boston College Law School. According to the Kranish biography (at page 167), while still in school, Kerry handled minor cases before juries of six, winning all of the twenty-five to thirty cases he prosecuted.... "I'm glad to say I never lost a case in Middlesex [County]," Kerry said. Wow, that's an impressive conviction rate, isn't it? Certainly it is! At least until you consider that they were, by definition, minor misdemeanors — probably traffic tickets, maybe littering — in which the defendants most likely didn't have lawyers. Well, so he at least must have wracked up the trials once he got his license and became a "real" prosecutor, didn't he? Message 23134097
