John Kerry - No to 2008
John Kerry who battled President Bush for the Presidency in 2004 and lost, has said that he will not run again. In an announcement on the Senate floor Kerry said that he thought it would be more important for him to fight in the Senate to end the war in Iraq and refocus the country on the war against terror.

The truth be told, Sen. Kerry was a long shot in the race for the Democratic nomination. With the likes of Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama and John Edwards (his former running mate) already in the race, Kerry did not have much of a chance.

(Big sigh of relief)---Kerry would've really muddled things up if he ran. The further he distances himself from the biggies (Edwards, Obama, and Clinton) the better.
I think is a smart move on his part. The public is tired of Kerry and at most he would distract voters from the "real" candidates in the race. He can do a lot more in the Senate.
