John Kerry decides not to run in '08.

John Kerry announced today he would not make another run for the Presidency.

Thank goodness.

Over at the TPM Cafe (a part of the Talking Points Memo universe), there is an explanation for the decision, and the major factor was Kerry's botched "joke" at the end of last October about not doing well in education and getting stuck in Iraq.

At least something good came out of that incident.
