They unbury old memes planted by Nixon WH since........1972!!!!!
He was a darling of the liberals and the anti-war movement.
He was looking for a place to run, reportedly was close to running in Worcester, when Morse announced he wasn't going to run for re-election.
Kerry immediately switched plans, came to Lowell and announced he was running for the 5th District seat.

But then, the reporters gets nicer!
I was surprised, after his defeat, that Kerry called me and invited Phillips and I to have lunch with him in the house he had bought in the Belvidere section of the city.
After the bitter campaign I wasn't sure I wanted to eat at the Kerry table, but Phillips and I decided to go. After a lot of small talk, Kerry opened a can of Franco-American spaghetti, which we all shared.
If Kerry had won that election, it's very unlikely Paul Tsongas would have run for the seat two years later. Tsongas ended up defeating Cronin and eventually going on to win a U.S. Senate seat. Fate and timing plays a big role in politics.
Kerry, to his credit, licked his wounds, went to law school, worked in the Middlesex District Attorney's Office, eventually became lieutenant governor then won the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Sen. Paul Tsongas and now holds one of the most powerful positions in the world.
