Kerry creates PAC to back candidates
It's good to hear that Kerry's not dropping off the face of the earth. I hear he's also taking somewhat of a leadership role in the Senate, and now he's got this PAC to advance his agenda, which is totally sweet as far as I'm concerned.
I hadn't realized it was a sure thing, his re-run next time around. We've got a few years to cement political goals, but I find it hard to believe that Kerry will make it through the primaries next time.
But who do we think is a better candidate? ¶

"Senator John F. Kerry is establishing a so-called leadership political action committee to promote Democratic candidates at the state and national level, as well as to continue pushing the agenda he promoted during his unsuccessful campaign for the presidency.
The PAC, which has yet to be named, will be based in Boston and headed by John Giesser, a lawyer and former chief operating officer of the City Year community service program."

The new organization will be separate from a reelection committee Kerry recently established, Friends of John Kerry, but it will share the same focus as a leadership PAC the Massachusetts Democrat established in 2002, the Citizen Soldier Fund.

If he's starting a PAC (and presumably quite a rich one), it seems to me that he must be serious about 2008. Hmmm. As much as I like him (a lot), I'm not sure if he is really is the person to do it again in four years-- it's about three years too early for that. However, I would much prefer kerry take a leadership role in the Senate as a Very Liberal Democrat to replace Ted Kennedy (I'm sure he'll need replacement soon).
I guess this is the test as to how much money talks in the Democratic Caucus-- we know that it does in the Repub. caucus.

I don't know... I don't think he's going anywhere but back to Mass... I do think this PAC could help Dems nationwide though. Kerry's not really my kinda president, but he's got a good head on his shoulders.
