Blog The Vote- Obamas announcment turns up the heat

“Barack is seen as a rock star. People see him as an idol,” said Morgan Felchner, editor of Campaigns and Elections magazine. “Kerry needs to get in soon.” I think it would be political suicide for the Democrats to nominate John Kerry again. He is has been out of the spotlight for to long and if he threw his hat in the nomination race he would only hurt his party. His few supporters would draw votes away from many of the 2008 hopefulls. Obama feet first jump into the race turns up the heat on all Democratic hopefuls to get into high gear.
