Kerry hints White House run in his future: reports

36 minutes ago Politics - AFP



WASHINGTON (AFP) - Defeated Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) has dropped hints he may run for president in 2008, as glum party officials debated the way forward after last week's Republican sweep of elections for the White House and US Congress.

"Sometimes God tests you," an aide to the Massachusetts senator quoted Kerry as telling friends and supporters, the Washington Post reported. "I'm a fighter and I've come back before."


Kerry's younger brother Cameron told the Boston Globe newspaper the senator was "profoundly disappointed" about narrowly losing last week's election to President George W. Bush (news - web sites), and deems another attempt fully possible.


"That's conceivable," the paper quoted the brother as saying. "I don't know why that (last week's loss) should necessarily be it.


"I think it's too early to assess. But I think that he is going to continue to fight on for the values, ideals and issues this campaign is about," Cameron Kerry added.
