Nixon pulled it off years ago, narrowly losing to Kennedy in 1960, then beating Humphrey 8 years later.

The Democrats ran the same candidate against Eisenhower twice, Adlai Stevenson (losing by large margins both times).

As for Kerry, he came close, but all he sold himself as was the anti-Bush. I don't see him expanding his base. Should Hillary run, Kerry doesn't have a chance.

I was surprised that Al Gore did not run again in 2004. As a former Vice President, Southerner, and winner of the popular vote in 2000, he would have had a reasonable and legitimate claim to the right to fight again for the ultimate title.

On the other hand, John Kerry -- the Senator from Massachusetts who lost the popular vote by 3 million votes to a largely unpopular sitting President -- doesn't deserve a second chance.

I disagree. You're underestimating Kerry's ambition and resiliency. I'm no fan of his but this is a guy who defers to no one. Not everybody can hook not one, but two heiresses.

What Kerry and his supporters fail to take into account is that many people did not vote for him, but against GWB. With GWB out of the picture in 2008, how much support does Kerry really have on his own?
