SOMEWHERE, KARL ROVE IS CHORTLING: “Sen. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) reopened the door to a possible 2008 presidential campaign during a book signing in Denver and then again, in an interview with 9NEWS.”

Plus, this very Kerryesque statement:

Afterwards, while answering a question from a viewer on the program YOUR SHOW about why he chose not to run, Kerry said he had decided it wasn’t the right time.

“Could that change?” Kerry said. “It might. It may change over years. It may change over months. I can’t tell you, but I’ve said very clearly I don’t consider myself out of it forever.”

Meanwhile, Neal Boortz observes: “John Kerry has a book on global warming? Why yes! It appears that he does! Isn’t this the same guy who teamed up with Ted Kennedy to kill a wind power project off Cape Cod? And just what is his electric bill in his Boston townhouse?”

Jump in, John. You’ve been missed!
