John Kerry Won!

John Kerry has been working his calculator and has discovered that he actually won the election last November.

"[I]f you add up the popular vote in the battleground states, I won the popular vote in the battleground states by two percentage points. We just didn't distribute it correctly in Ohio." So, said the loser Sunday on "Meet the Press."

He'll have to work his calculator very hard to come up with good news in a recently poll of Bay State residents, 59% of whom would rather not have Kerry represent them in the Senate any more.

He waved off news of a poll conducted by Suffolk University and WHDH, the NBC affiliate in Boston, that found that 59 percent of Massachusetts voters do not want him to run for president again. The polls, he noted, once indicated he had no chance of winning the nomination. "So I think polls are almost irrelevant," Kerry said, "and I just don't pay any attention to them."
