#1 Hillary would have his balls in a sling before Iowa, that's why he's not running.

That, or maybe he's finally getting good advice.

#3 I'm actually a bit bummed out by this news. One Kerry speech is worth 2 or 3 derisive blog postings. I might even have to put some thought into mocking the DemonRats now. Oh well.

#4 To whom is he going to donate his surplus 2004 campaign funds? Is he perhaps thinking of buying a vice presidency? This could be fun!

#5 Smart move, Jawn. Now you can skate away the rest of your life in the US Senate. It's not like it's a job or anything...

#6 He was for running for the presidency before he was against it.

#7 Dear John-

Remember Vince?
Good boy. Now stay home and help Teresa put labels on the ketchup bottles or whatever it is you do when you're not using up precious oxygen in the Senate.

Love,
Hillary

Mike

#9 This is definitely disappointing. Sure Kerry/Edwards was a failure, but that does not mean Edwards/Kerry could not carry (heh) the day.

Besides, if we could harness the energy from the scorn and ridicule his campaign would generate, why there's 10% of our foreign oil imports right there. Sneer on, dudes.

I wonder how Mass. feels with two failures as Senators.

#11 Tah-ray-za must be heart-broken as she will NEVER be 1st Lady.... Unless, she divorces Jawn, gets Barack divorced and marries him!

After all, both trace their roots to Africa.

#14 Buck up broncos. Teddy Kennedy could always go on a weekday bendah and throw his jimmy hat into the ring. Kennedy/Dodd 2008!

#16 I wonder how Mass. feels with two failures as Senators.

Oh...it's been so long, we're used to it by now. It gives us something to talk about when we meet people from other states when we go on vacation. Because it's always the first words outta their mouths...

#17 tu3031 you are right about vacations. But I still can't get used to it since all of my in-laws love all of them.

You'd think 35 years would have built up a calous wouldn't you?

#18 Won't have to worry about Teresa turning my stomach every time they show her on TV.

#19 Won't have to worry about releasing those last military records if he doesn't run.

Personally I think Gore should run as VP under Hillary. Then the lefties could just reuse any Clinton/Gore bumper-stickers.

The Clinton/Gore ticket is back. She's angry, he's crazy. Together they're mad as hell!

#20 tu3031, I feel your pain I live in California. Although I would give DiFi some credit for at least not having a script to read all the time.

#25 I knows what you means, Frank. One the one hand, I could be very, very grateful this braying jackass won't be running around spewing inanities all through the campaign. On the other hand, I could be bereft that this braying jackass won't be running around spewing inanities all through the campaign so we could make fun of him.

Hillary just isn't funny.

#27 Many Netters are still betting on GORE to declare for 2008, includ to be unilater nominated by the Dems. LUCIANNE.com > 2008 and "X-FACTOR" of WOT, read new 9-11's/Amer Hiroshimas + regional wars. Don't count 'em out yet until after the 2008 Nominations for POTUS.
