A lot of people have been saying that.

No one knows what Sen. Kerry will do until he announces his intentions. I do think that Kerry has cause to re-think what he wants to do. This will be an incredibly nasty run this time around, even worse than '03. Remember, it's not just one person who runs for President, it's their whole family, their friends and everyone who knows them.

I would pause and re-think that in terms of what happened last week. I would want to recount my supporters, check and make sure the money-guys are still there and so forth.

It's a big decision, versus a sure-thing in the Senate. Especially now that Dems have some real power. There are actual things that Kerry could accomplish, things he has wanted to do all his life in the Senate. That is within his grasp. Do you throw that away for a long-shot? (ALL RUNS for the President, no matter who makes them, are long-shots, btw.) Do you listen when the Senate leadership starts horse-trading with you on powerful positions and dangles interesting things in front of you?

I hope the good Senator takes his time and considers all angles.
