18. No. I like Kerry, but a lot of people don't.

I think we need Kerry in the Senate. He calms people down. That is why he would make a good Secretary of State, but it is also why we need him in the Senate. He is reasonable and just a really good man. We have far too few who are as patient as he in the Senate. I just don't want to see him go. He is patient to a fault, but really a good Democrat in the Senate.
