Boston Globe: Kerry may run again

[WalterMitty]

The more interesting part about this is that it would most likely leave his Senate seat open in 2008.

yes.  that is what would happen.  i think he will retire from the senate and amke an 'all or nothing' attempt at the presidency.

ed markey or marty meehan will most likely be the democrat nominee for that seat.  andy card may run for the republicans.

The Massachusetts primary is late enough that he could form a presidential campaign and if/when that fails he still has time to run for re-election to the senate.  Unless he would no longer want to be a senator with his 25-year presidential dream completely dead, which is possible.

there is talk of moving up the massachusetts primary.  september is much too late.
