I asked Kerry today about running in '08

[WilliamPitt]

Managed a quick interview with him via phone as he was heading to the airport on the way back to DC. It was kinda funny for me, as far as interviews go, to be asking questions and getting answers while listening to him barter with the ticket agent for a bulkhead seat so he could stretch his legs out. :)

Anyway...

PITT: You have said that no decision on a 2008 presidential run will be forthcoming soon, and that you are looking hard at the possibility. My question, therefore, is this: if you do decide to run again, what if anything will you do differently in this campaign?

KERRY: Let me just say that I learned a lot of lessons, and we made some mistakes, which I completely take responsibility for. I learned what we have to do, and if I decide to run, I’m going to do it, and I will know how to win.

But I’m not going to get into all of that at this point in time. I’ll go into those things if and when the time comes. The bottom line is that we came within 60,000 votes, and I think I know how to cure the issues that were not properly addressed in the course of the campaign.

I am transcribing the rest tonight, so the whole thing should be available sometime tomorrow.
