Reply #8: I think a second run isn't so hard to imagine.

Look at this year--a lot of new things happened--the grassroots support for one. Internet fund raising. Protesting the election in Congress. I can imagine having Kerry run two times in a row, if he stays visible these next few years and keeps building support from the grassroots up. We down here are not nearly as cynical as those on top, who worry about precedents, focus groups, etc etc. We down here say "why not?". It depends a lot on what happens in the next four years, and, like vinessa said, whether his family wants to go through it all again. But if no election reforms happen, it won't look good for any Dem, once again. :(
