Kerry's decision to drop out of the race was a smart move by him

Not only would it be devastating for him, personally, to end up placing behind Edwards, but I think it would be bad for him career-wise to have a poor finish of any kind in the primaries.

Let's face it. John Kerry didn't have a chance of winning the Primaries in '08 and he knew it. Losing would be one thing, but getting trounced would be another. Plus, all the heavyweights are in it this time, all of them sensing that 2008 is the year for a Democrat to take over the WH.

Still, there's a chance we'll blow it again in 2008. Considering what happened in 2004, in an election we thought we could never lose, anything is possible. So, if by some chance we blow it in 2008, that leaves Kerry to come back with a vengeance in 2012 as a fresh face. Time does wonders and people forget. Kerry could adopt a whole new campaign persona by then. I'm sure Kerry's hoping we win in '08, but in the event that we don't, look out for him to go for it again in 2012.

We just better win in 2008. That's all I've gotta say.
