If John Kerry is tapped for SoS who would we run against Scott Brown? [View all]

If Hillary does indeed retire, and Kerry is tapped as SoS, who runs in MA against Brown? Some suggest Deval Patrick but if he's tapped to be the new AG, then who is left in MA?

Brown would be the natural Republic to run for the seat. He's still got money, he garned 1.4 million votes and would most likely hold onto those coupled with the lackluster turn out for non-Presidential elections... who is the obvious choice to run for the Dems and win?
