A reality check for John Kerry

Joan Vennochi has this to say about John Kerry:

But like an old boyfriend who won't give up, Kerry isn't going gently into that political good night.

The media get urgent updates about Kerry press availabilities, and Kerry's 2004 supporters get urgent e-mail updates about the senator's latest political opinions on Hurricane Katrina relief or Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers. Kerry's past supporters are also approached regularly for political contributions and invited to dine with ''John and Teresa."

Our guess is John Kerry from Massachusetts isn't going to do any better than he did in 2004.
