John Kerry Decides Not to Run Again for President in 2008

This just in, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry will not run for President in 2008. I must say I am disappointed. I would have enjoyed his personality and sense of humor he would have brought to the Democratic primaries. It would have been enjoyable to see his many different positions on the same topic debated against Hillary, Obama, Edwards an the rest of the many vying for the Democratic nomination.

Most importantly, I will miss not being able to use the following pictures of Kerry in the run up to the 2008 Presidential election. For the man most likely to make a political gaff while speaking … Kerry, you will be missed. I guess Kerry needed a bit more political and financial HALP than he thought. I guess he was a Presidential candidate, before he wasn’t one.
