22. The Republicans don't want Kerry to run. This is a right wing paper.
The article is done for no other reason but to sell the magazine and the paper is carrying it as a service to the conservative viewership. If John Kerry had no support, it wouldn't be news and it wouldn't be carried by this news-rag paper or even written about in the magazine.

I would consider the sources with this hit piece.

I will also add, I personally don't care what the so called "insiders" or other supposedly former Kerry supporters have to say-they all have their own agendas and I'm sure none were quoted with names given.
If John Kerry runs again, and he is certainly entitled to do that, he will have my support.
