Elphaba and pan have pretty much summed up my thoughts about it all. Especially in regards to how we are all manipulated by partisan marketing schemes.
I don't think it a good idea for Kerry to run just as I don't think (as much as I like her personally) that Hillary Clinton should run. They would make easy targets for the very reason cited above. It's not right that a candidate should have to be subjected to unchecked mass excoriations of their character, but that just seems to be the reality of political campaigning these days.
I would love to see Barack Obama on a ticket, as well.
