Vennochi's at it again. [View All]

...In Massachusetts, Democrats groan and roll their eyes with every statement from camp Kerry indicating another presidential run. In Iowa, Yepsen wrote, ``the crowd . . . didn't seem dismissive. With polls showing Kerry already running in third place among likely caucusgoers in Iowa, nobody else should be. . . . Kerry is hoping his party will give him one more chance, and the first people who could help give it to him are in Iowa."...

...Kerry's too-long healthcare speech in Boston was delivered to a friendly audience that included the last of the true Kerry believers -- brother Cam Kerry, fund-raiser Bob Crowe, and a small army of young Kerry operatives sporting ``JK" pins on their shirt collars. But, just as Yepsen observed in Iowa, Kerry's presentation in Faneuil Hall was sharper, the content was less wonkish, and the speech included some pretty good lines, which Kerry spoke with humor and style. Given his new antiwar message, it is conceivable that Kerry could stage another comeback in the heartland...

...No wonder politicians long to hit the road, far from home.

According to Joanie Vennochi
"In Massachusetts, Democrats groan and roll their eyes with every statement from camp Kerry indicating another presidential run."

Ummmm....what Humble Elias wants to know is, just who are these democrats that Spiteful Joanie is so sure of?

Haven't heard a whole lot on the local democratic circuit with respects to a Kerry '08 run most everyone here is focused on the governor's race. Kerry's "Imperial Guard" has for the moment dispersed into the camps of various gubernatorial candidates. To the extent that JK needs to keep the loyalty of that die hard cohort, he'll play some sort of a role in the fall campaign to be sure. Assist in giving his Spartans a democratic governor, and they in turn will do right by him IF Kerry gets into the big race in '08.

Thats as much as I've heard so far.

As for who is "rolling their eyes" for Joanie's merriment..who can say?
