McCain, Graham, Ayotte, and Rice

[karynnj]

13. Benghazi is all they have tot argue against Obama's fp, she is unfortunately collateral damage in

their eyes. They may see her appearances as partly stemming the "scandal" they hoped would put Romney in the White House. In fact, it would seem to have been the Libya question in the second debate, McCain is STILL arguing that Obama lied - even though the not left leaning Candy Crowley agreed.

One thing NOT considered is that this action may well tip Obama's choice to Rice - though Kerry was seen as the frontrunner by most pundits and even more from Senators on both sides of the aisle. If you took the logic of the Clinton appointment - based on name recognition, not foreign policy experience, Kerry is the obvious better known, more diplomatic choice, In fact, for SOS, the only near mainstream criticism of Kerry vs Rice is that he has been against more "interventions" than Rice - Bill Kristol.
