Kerry in 2008?

Will John Kerry run for President in 2008? Likely say some members of the Democratic Caucus.

Over the past few weeks, Kerry has been activley supporting Iowa Governor, Tom Vislick, for the Chairman of the DNC. Sources say that Kerry has met with many members of the House bolstering support for the Iowa Givernor.

With this level of involvement in the search for a new chairman, house members are speculating that this is the first and strongest indication that Kerry will run. Outgoing chairman, Terry McAuliffe, was the hand picked choice of former President Bill Clinton. But with three failed elections, McAuliffe will not be returning to the party leadership.

There is just one problem with Kerry's support of Vislick. Today, Vislick issued a statement saying he is no longer interested in pursuing the position. What will this do to Kerry's support? Just give hime a few moments and he'll change candidates.

Who else wants to be DNC Chair? None other than the Iowa screamer, Howard Dean. Most House members are cool to Dean since they believe he will run again in 2008.
