Senator John F. Kerry's election-eve "botched joke" about the war in Iraq -- and the fierce denunciations his comments drew from fellow Democrats -- has led him to reevaluate whether to mount a run for the presidency in 2008 and has led him to delay an announcement about his decision, according to Kerry associates.
Kerry -- who had methodically resurrected his political standing after a tough loss to President Bush in 2004 -- was stunned by the swift, angry reaction to his Oct. 30 statement that underachieving students would end up "stuck in Iraq."
Aides and friends say the senator was particularly stung by the fact that so many Democrats had joined Republicans in rebuking him.
It would be ironic if Kerry’s political career ended the same way his political career began -- by defaming our military in wartime.
