The big question, of course, is where Mr. Kerry is going. Six months after his loss to President Bush, Mr. Kerry, in a brief interview in St. Paul, insisted he wanted to "move on." Yet moving on has proved complicated.

More than an ordinary senator, less than a presidential nominee, Mr. Kerry is a politician betwixt and between. He has more than $8 million in the bank and an e-mail list of three million supporters, yet must still prove himself to fellow Democrats, keeping his presidential prospects alive even as he insists it is too soon to talk about 2008.
