Reply #14: I also read this article as positive news, especially coming from the globe

First, it was on front page
Second, it opened with those great one-liners, again, right there on the front page.
Third, it concluded with JK's fighting words (as fedup noted above), and with mention of people in the crowd asking him to run in 2008 (for more mention of the crowd's mood on 2008, also see post by DavefromPrinceton in the Democratic Dailyhttp://blog.thedemocraticdaily.com/?p=4583)
Fourth, it mentioned that Kerry "came off the best" in Frank Luntz's (spring 2006?) survey of NH voters of possible Democratic candidates. ((Luntz asked respondents to evaluate REAL FOOTAGE from recent public appearances; it wasn't just another popularity-contest poll. By the way, both Hillary and Edwards came in with "high expectations", but ratings fell sharply for both after respondents viewed footage)
Fifth, it showed JK campaigning hard for a first-rate congressional candidate, and indirectly highlighted the hard work that Kerry has been doing all year

By the way, Patrick Murphy is a first-rate congressional candidate, and deserves any support people might be inclined to give. We need him in Congress, he eminently deserves to win, and I think he's got a real shot at winning against his first-term congressional opponent. His web site is http://www.murphy06.net/index.php
