John Kerry (pictured - on the outside looking in) has decided not to run for president in 2008. His ‘botched joke.’ was the straw that broke his back. Kerry claimed it was intended as a joke when he told students, “If you … do your homework, you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
Bad news for his supporters in Boston and eastern Massachusetts.
Good news for the Military he tried to defame. This is also good news for liberals all over the county who were heartbroken because of his inept campaign in 2004. They will welcome someone - anyone - who is a little more electable.
Conservatives successfully stereotyped Kerry as a flip-flopper which began with his infamous statement that he voted for the $87 billion before he voted against it.
The $87 billion flip-flop was a gift to the Repulicans that just kept on giving.

Somehow it is fitting that Kerry’s presidential hopes end with one final flip-flop:
He decided not to run before he decided to run.
