WASHINGTON — Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry said on Sunday he is still considering a second run for the White House in 2008, despite public criticism of what he has called a “botched joke” about the Iraq war.

In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Kerry was asked if he had given up on a presidential run after the flap over his comment to students that they could “get stuck in Iraq” if they did not study hard enough.

“Not in the least. I am looking at it in the same way. The people that I have talked to across the country, my team’s confident and strong. I don’t know what I’ll do.
