“Yesterday , Senator John F. Kerry was in Iowa. Tomorrow and Wednesday, he’ll be in Nevada. On Friday, he’ll be in New Hampshire. After that, he’ll visit 11 more states, including South Carolina, before the Nov. 7 election.
With a frenetic pace of barnstorming and fund-raising on behalf of Democratic candidates, Kerry’s moves over the last several months have convinced his inner circle that he intends to launch another run for president.
Kerry himself insisted he has not decided whether to run. But more than a dozen longtime loyalists interviewed for this story said they had no doubt that Kerry would attempt what a host of Washington doubters think unimaginable: become the first Democrat in half a century to lose a general election and be renominated four years later.
“My impression is there’s no way he’s not going to run,” said a confidant who speaks with Kerry regularly and asked not to be identified.
Kerry, who will spend at least 18 of the next 29 days campaigning for Democratic candidates, said in an interview Friday that he is concentrating his energies on the 2006 elections, in which the Democrats are increasingly optimistic that they have a chance at winning a majority in the House and possibly the Senate.
“First things first,” Kerry said. “I haven’t made a decision yet, and I don’t have any specific timetable for it. My focus is the ’06 elections. I know it sounds weird to people, but we’ve got to do well here, win some seats, and I’m doing everything in my power to do that.”
Kerry helping his party in the November elections? Finally some good news……..
