Kerry: Lance Armstrong Should Go For Politics Only If…

…he’s a Democrat.

Sen. John Kerry thinks Lance Armstrong would make a terrific politician–but fears he’d be running for the other party.

Watching Armstrong during his warmup for Saturday’s time trial, the Democrat from Massachusetts listed the Texan’s winning qualities.

“What’s made him so special at the Tour de France, and as an athlete, is the level of focus, discipline, intelligence, strategic ability, and obviously, his endurance…his ability to just take it on and go,” Kerry said.

Those qualities would serve Armstrong well in politics, Kerry said. But Armstrong is also friendly with fellow Texan President Bush.

“I think he’d be awesome, he’d be a force. I just hope it’s for the right party,” said Kerry, an avid cyclist and longtime fan of the Tour de France.

So John Kerry wouldn’t want Armstrong to run as a Republican. So much for the Democrats being “the party choice.” They apparently only believe in choice if they agree with it.
