Defeated Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has hinted that he could make another run for the White House in 2008, press reports said Tuesday. Kerry hinted to a post-campaign event on Saturday that he could run again. "Sometimes God tests you," an aide to the Massachusetts senator quoted Kerry as saying to friends and supporters, the Washington Post reported. "I'm a fighter and I've come back before."
Kerry's younger brother Cameron told the Boston Globe newspaper the senator was "profoundly disappointed" about narrowly losing last week's election to President George W. Bush, and deems another attempt fully possible.
"That's conceivable," the paper quoted the brother as saying "I don't know why that (last week's loss) should necessarily be it.
"I think it's too early to assess. But I think that he is going to continue to fight on for the values, ideals, and issues this campaign is about," Cameron Kerry added.
Top Kerry aides said however that they had no idea about his long-term plans. "It's too early to know," campaign communications director Stephanie Cutter told US media.
Kerry is to expected to return next week to the US Senate, and hopes to play an active role opposing the majority Republican party.
According to press reports, Kerry has mostly remained at his Boston, Massachusetts home since last Tuesday's election defeat. The Globe reported that he was spotted in Washington on Monday, but kept a low profile.
According to news reports, Kerry is considering creating a politicial action committee and think tank to keep his policy initiatives, and himself, in the spotlight.
