Kerry: McCain is 'dangerous' for the country

Posted: 09:35 AM ET

From CNN Political Producer Alexander Marquardt

BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) – Former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry told donors at a Boston fundraiser for Barack Obama Monday night that John McCain is "dangerous" for the direction of the country.

Kerry listed Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea as examples of foreign policy issues that he believes Obama has had more foresight on than McCain. He also noted that even the Bush administration has fallen in sync with Obama on several positions recently.

“John McCain is still stuck on the low road express,” said Kerry. “He doesn’t get it. He’s even dangerous, I think, for the direction of this country.”

Kerry accused McCain of repeated flip-flopping and going back on his word of running a clean campaign He also poked fun at McCain’s economic credentials.

“I don’t know if you know this,” joked Kerry, “John McCain is looking for someone for vice president who has more economic expertise than he does. So congratulations to all of you, you’re on the short list.”

1. Damn that is good stuff.

I'm impressed!

I hope he does a lot more TV. He's exactly what I've been looking for in a surrogate.

2. He's been out there often

and I see no reason that he won't continue to be. He is campaigning in MA because he is up for re-election and has a primary in September.

5. Kerry and Biden are the only ones with Cojones

the rest of the Democratic leaders are in the bunker hiding from the press throwing bouquets at McCain for his "honorable service"

Kerry should be Secretary of State and Biden VP

I want them to be in positions that will allow to keep speaking out, and people keep listening to them.
