EXIT THE EXIT POLL PRESIDENT
Senator John Kerry keeps to himself around the Capitol. He is always rushing somewhere, head down, disappearing into elevators. A Senate loner for 22 years, Mr. Kerry seems all the more isolated now as he darts past the media hordes around the next set of presidential seekers, colleagues that include Hillary Rodham Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama.
Even in the best of times, Mr. Kerry’s face hung droopy and funereal, one of the most weary in American politics. Today, Mr. Kerry, the Massachusetts Democrat who was the exit poll president-elect for a few hours in November 2004, endures the peculiar pariah status that his party reserves for its losing nominees.

The "exit poll" president-elect? LOL! Perhaps he was a loner in the "august" Senate chamber because Monsieur Globe Trotter hardly ever bothers to show up there, vote there or sponsor meaningful legislation there. I know a cause he can get behind, he can ask the Senate to declare a Monday in February as EXIT POLL PRESIDENT'S DAY. Of course, it can't be the real President's day because he just didn't measure up for that.
It takes a special kind of arrogance when you burst into tears at the thought of how overwhelmingly sad it must be for the country that you will not be running for President again. Boo freakin' hoo.
