Reply #112: I never said he was serving for personal gain

[politicasista]

I was asking what is there for him to gain (i.e. issues, hearings) by being Chairman. That's why I asked pirhana the other day (thank for the answer p :)) about what did Biden accomplish when he served in this position?

SFRC Chair has power, and Kerry will be Uncle Ted's successor as the senior senator from MA, but don't count on the party giving him the same kind of respect they give Uncle Ted. I think people are hoping that HRC accepts his post under his health care legislation. They are hoping that it's her, not Kerry that Kennedy passes the torch to. They are hoping that she will be the new liberal lion or tiger of the senate. Where does that leave Kerry? Just another Democratic senator?

I am just for him getting credit and respect due. I don't know why people have a problem with that.
