The same crap about being seen aloof by his Senate colleagues. The implication he is a loser (not VP for Gore, not President, not SoS in 2008), and of course, once again, the fact that he only rose in the Senate after Ted passed away.

Frankly, I do not think there is nothing new here, except the obvious, Democratic Senators would like to see one of them nominated (duh) and the rehashed same ideas on how the Senate sees Kerry.

I find particularly surprised that they present this as seen from Kerry's POV. He refused to be interviewed and there is no quote, even unsourced, from people close to him (staffers, friends).

I saw the gallery, and it is pure BS.
