I beg to differ with that. They are ALL extremely important - in terms of what real success is.

You seem to think that only being President or SoS is success. Look at the last 40 years, is there one President who did as much good as Ted Kennedy? How about one Secretary of State?

The fact is that being a 5 term Senator, in the position that Kerry is in because of his knowledge and skills - in addition to his committee assignments is a very powerful, very good job. Did I want him to be President, Of course, but he is clearly still fighting for things he believes in. Also having seen him at the Barnstable rally, when he voted, and at the victory rally - he looks extremely enthusiastic and happy. (I honestly think you are more unhappy than he is on SoS. In fact, one thought I had was that as SoS, he wouldn't be able to do the rallies etc and, especially at Barnstable, he looked like he loves it. Not to mention, he might be needed when MA's heart is broken)
