Apologies in advance for a "hit and run" diary; there's no recent Open Thread to which I can post the latest news from Boston.com, otherwise known in the print version as the Boston Globe:
Kerry to bow out of '08 presidential race
By Rick Klein, Globe Staff | January 24, 2007
WASHINGTON - Senator John F. Kerry plans to announce today that he is bowing out of the 2008 presidential race, and will instead remain in Congress and seek reelection to his Senate seat next year, according to senior Democratic officials.
Kerry has been serving us well as a Senator, and I wish him success in his Senate race in '08.
