WaPo was nice to Kerry on Friday

in their 'horse race' online roundup:

John Kerry: Since the start of the Friday presidential Line last fall, The Fix has included Kerry's name. The Democratic establishment was sick of him after the 2004 loss, and there appeared to be little energy for another Kerry presidential bid. But Kerry continues to prove that he belongs in the top five as he has emerged as the most forceful voice among Democrats when it comes to an exit strategy in Iraq. Kerry's call for most American troops to be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of 2006 bolstered his standing among the party's liberals and even drew praise from Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold -- a potential rival for the 2008 nomination. Kerry still has to overcome the sense that he is yesterday's news, but his outspokenness on the Iraq issue has made him relevant again.
