WASHINGTON — Senator Kerry says he deserves a second chance if he decides to take another crack at becoming president. The Democrat of Massachusetts, who lost to President Bush in 2004, said it is a basic principle that “Americans give people a second chance. And if you learn something and prove you’ve learned something, maybe even more so. Now, I don’t know what I’m going to do yet. We’ll make that decision down the road.” If Mr. Kerry runs, he would have to overcome other Democratic presidential hopefuls such as Senators Clinton of New York, Biden of Delaware, Feingold of Wisconsin, and Dodd of Connecticut.
