So John Kerry announced this afternoon that he will not run for President this time around. He had poll results according to CNN that indicated a majority of democrats thought he should not run, something like 51 : 47 percent thought he should not run.
As compared to Al Gore who had 59% in favor of him running and Hillary Clinton with I think 75% favoring her running (these are Democrats not country wide numbers)
CNN chalked his dropping out before he began to his botched speech just prior to the mid term election that seemed to call American troops stupid for not going to college instead of into the military. Kerry claimed he was not calling the troops stupid, but had just botched a joke that was supposed to target GW and ended up backfiring and now possibly costing him a second run at the White House.
The major media outlets were reporting this development, but the Kerry website doesn't mention it yet with any type of official response.
