Over at the THE HILL Hans Nichols has written a column saying John Kerry is putting down a marker for 08' race for president. Kerry has been in contact with the leading candidates to be the next Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman. He is asking the top candidates to remain neutral in the presidential selection process in 2008 .
The three leading candidates have all publically said they would remain neutral. Howard Dean is emerging the clear front-runner in the race for the DNC chairmanship.
Can you say John Kerry has clout?
