NBCer: Dems Not Answering Kerry's Call

While Sen. John Kerry has made it clear he's interested in running for president again in 2008, party insiders aren't very enthusiastic about the prospect.

"Kerry has been reaching out very aggressively and finding that many of the people that he automatically thought would be on board are not," NBC's Campbell Brown told "The Chris Matthews Show" on Sunday.

Meanwhile, his 2004 running mate, John Edwards, "is much farther along than even many Democrats realize in putting together his team for '08, planning and getting organized."

Among those not "automatically on board" is Kerry's wife, Teresa, who insiders say has vowed "Never again," as far as presidential politics is concerned.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing," a friend of Teresa's told the Boston Herald last week. "She's 66 now ... and you know as you get older, your priorities change. Teresa will never do it again."
