Being of a mixed race, Obama already portrays an image of "coming together for the common good." I am waiting to hear from her mother and his wife.

Notice how the Wall Street Journal (a Republican newspaper) promotes Edwards, Hillary and Obama, yet poo-poo's Biden and Kerry. I don't know if Biden's bid gets taken seriously, but the Wall Street Journal has no reason to think Kerry might not run and plenty of reasons to fear Kerry. Republicans are a lot more pragmatic than democrats. They see McCain as their probable standard-bearer, see his #1 strength as being the moderate-conservative straight-talking military leader (OK, part BS but it works for him) and they don't want a democrat with deep, manly and military gravitas to be running against him. Kerry is the only Dem besides Clark and maybe Biden who can be easily seen as a strong commander in chief, the more dovish version of McCain so to speak. I'll bet in 2003 the WSJ was running articles promoting Howard Dean. Not because they like him, mostly because they wanted the GOP to be able to run against him.
