ONE HARDHEADED LOSER
Israelis Believe Peres Should Call It Quits (Angus Reid Global Scan, 11/15/05)
Many adults in Israel believe it is time for a former prime minister to retire from public service, according to a poll by Teleseker published in Maariv. 50.6 per cent of respondents think former Labour leader Shimon Peres should leave political life.
Given his long streak of losing elections only to come back for more of the same, is Peres really likely to be swayed by a mere poll that says enough is enough?

The headline could just as well apply to the John Kerry story in the thread right below this one. It may just be that politicians who have been media darlings in the past just can't get past the idea they can recapture the magic one more time for a final run to glory.
