KERRY REDUX?
Dial ‘M’ for maybe

Ever since John Kerry lost the presidential election in November (Hey, remember those faulty exit polls? What was up with that?), speculation has intensified about whether the junior senator from Massachusetts will make another bid for the White House. First, Kerry’s brother hints at a second run. Then the man himself starts his own PAC, and visits American troops in Iraq, and schmoozes with Jacques Chirac in France, and gives a hell of a speech at the Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast in Boston. So, senator: what’s the deal? You running again, or what? Really, it’s likely to be at least two years — and probably more — before Kerry makes his intentions clear. But the voicemail greeting at his Boston headquarters speaks volumes. Call (617) 367-1551, and you’ll hear the following message, delivered by a crisp, assertive female voice: "Thank you for calling. The Kerry-Edwards campaign Boston headquarters is now closed. Thank you for all of your dedication and support over these past few years." And then — wait for it — "We look forward to seeing you again in 2008." Remember, you read it here first.
