KERRY DINES IN SOBE, TALKS 2008 STRATEGY

That tall, familiar man walking out of Escopazzo on South Beach Thursday night, posing for cellphone pictures with reveling passersby? None other than 2004 Democratic presidential contender John Kerry, who’s considering another run in 2008.

His dinner with national fundraisers, including Kirk Wagar, Bob Farmer, Milton Ferrell and Alex Heckler, was one of several meetings with South Florida supporters on Thursday and Friday. He also spent time with lawyers Ellen and Philip Freidin, strategist Joe Garcia, and lawyer Mike Eidson, and he spoke at a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy and Sen. Ted Kennedy.

‘’The lessons he learned in 2004 make him incredibly formidable, and John was certainly open to the idea'’ of running for the presidency in 2008, Wagar said.
