    This can only be termed "a smart move" as with his recent gaffes, it would be a COMPLETE waste of time and money.

      Frankly, rich4810, after Bush we should drop to our knees and thank GOD for a democratic president, even a dead one would be better than any republicon.

        No rating, No vote.

        The reason why John Kerry bowed out so early is because Hillary won his testicles in a bet, then made a coin purse out of his sack (just like the Native Americans did to bulls long ago to store things in... like shiny pebbles, and coins, and fish-bones, and other important bobbles and baubles). She bet him that he could not defeat her in an arm-wrestling match. She won!

        She's one tough butch! A virtual terminator with a metallic endo-skeletal structure under her plastic skin.

        p.s.--- she doesn't put on a good face at all. Her intentions are written in bold writing across her forehead in backward letters so only She can read them while practicing her agenda in a mirror.

          Kyoto "Treaty" does not exist. It's the Kyoto Accords. It was voted down by the Senate 98-0 as a stupid idea. While the ice cap is retreating on the North Pole the ice mass on the South Pole is increasing. The global warming thing is a myth created to direct wealth and tax dollars into useless projects that fattens corporate and academic coffers.

          All this talks about the Clintons being really sinister people, the thing is; I have never seen any proof outside of the delusional crap the old Republicans has repeated Like Hatch and delay and Army...and they are all being investigated so they don't count, and /or FOX News we all know how on point they are. Would someone please show me some evidence that the Clintons were these deviants you all talk about, because my memory can only find good things, and the attempted impeachment that cost 50 something million dollars that netted Mr. Clinton cheated on his Wife doesn't count even a fool can see there was nothing there. Please don't tell me about the people who went to jail for them, we all know that Ken Star sent them there because they wouldn't lie on the Clintons. Also please explain how these bad people created one of the most evenly shared economies in the history of this country, where new people got rich and not just the rich getting richer like now.

                  Don't worry rooster211, many things in this world are done for nothing. Think of he elections of 2000. Less votes and W got to be the president?????????????? And now very few want him.

                  So those 330,000 who voted for Gore for him to get more votes, voted for nothing.

                  It's OK. We'll survive.

                  Thanks, Swift Boat Vets. He is afraid that he really may have to release those records if he makes another go at it. He'll skate by in MA. Now, he can use all his time doing what he has done best in his life: undermine and undercut and insult the U.S. military.

                    are you tripping? you are so out of it. kerry signed form 180 to release everything. bush never did. i get tired of correcting people.

                    why don't you google bush military records and see what you come up with?

                    fox news is doing more to corrupt democracy than terrorists ever could.

                  As John Kerry says: "I speak for everyone in the universe...."

                  I am disappointed that he isn't going to run. The entertainment value would have been great. I would have loved to have seen the Hillary-Obama-Kerry triad.

                  My only hope is that John Dean jumps in. Eeeeeahhh!!

                  He did not decide to not run on his own. Some high up Money man, maybe George Soros told him not to bother. I would think Teraaaaaaaza would be happy.She lost big bucks last time.

                      Kerry would have been a great president. Just think of all the People who would be alive today if Kerry had not been swift boated with the help of the media. The Irag tragedy would not have happened.

                        Yeah, we would probably be under Iraqi control today, if not in the near future. And just think of all those people who have died over the last two hundred plus years preserving your right to be able to say that.

                        Well, gee I'm torn. On one hand I won't have to listen to that blowhard/traitor run his big stupid mouth any more. On the other hand, it would give me lots of opportunity to talk trash about him and criticize him to the depths of hell. What a icehole. I can't stand him. Him and his loony tune wife. Go hide in a bottle of ketchup or something.

                          This is about the smartest move he has ever made. Stay out and don't bother the rest of us.

                          Think of the time not wasted and the money not spent by him and by those that don't like him. Now we don't have to see the swift boat people again. There is a silver lining to Kerrys black cloud!

                              HAPPY AS A LARK, that Mr. Kerry is not seeking the Presidential Office. Even though I agree with his tone now I am disgusted by his references to his experiences in Vietnam. This is a man who will go to any extreme for the power of the office of Presidency.

                              As a vet I observed and heard his comments and I know that this man is a usurper of decency. I for one am elated that he has seen the light of day and knows America is on to him.

                                I cant believe after everything he actually thought he had a chance in the first place. I think his ratings are lower Bush's, arent they? Either way he has about a snowballs chance in hades to think he did.

                                  With Kerry out that still doesn't leave a field worth a damn on the Democratic side and as an open minded Democrat who has never voted straight party I say that we can look forward to another substandard field of possible candidates yet again. Not that it matters but I did vote for GW last time around being that I figured he was the lesser of two evils. (ROFLMAO!)

                                  I don't think anybody really expected Kerry to run. There are too many candidates in the field in any event, and Kerry really was never considered a top tier candidate for '08.

                                  Of course, the neoconservatives are all over this story because the rest of the news is really really bad for them, and they need somewhere to post all their vitriol.

                                  Couldn't we allow him to run anyway but unofficially?

                                  It could kind of be like open mike at the Improv. Or kind of like watching American Idol with a really bad act. Simon, Paula, and Randy could be the moderators.

                                    I'm glad he's not running, after the way he allowed his campaign to be screwed up last time. Now if only we could get Hillery to bow out as well.

                                        "...something that really isn't newsworthy anyway"

                                        Most of the stuff that is on netscape isn't newsworthy. But that doesn't stop all of us from spewing about it.

                                        This story is refreshing. If you believe that things are going so badly, this kind of stuff can actually be an entertaining diversion. No substance, no consequence, no matter about anything.

                                        Thanks John "Not-Too-Swift Swiftboater" Kerry

                                          Perhaps you'd prefer to spew about the lame duck President Bush and his retread non policies?

                                          There are lots of stories available to do that...but I doubt you'll go there...

                                        I still don't think Kerry decided not to run based on some sort of grand enlightenment.

                                        I think the DNC puppeteers told him to back off. Just like they told Al "Father of the Internet" Gore to back off.

                                        Gore invented the internet and Hillary invented healthcare. Ooh. That one did not go so well. Sorry, Hill.
