High praise for Kerry from Elizabeth Warren and Deval Patrick

[Mass]

11. I think it may be referring to people who have an ulterior motive.

I may be the only one, but I find extremely suspect that, just a few days after articles by influential foreign policy reporters said it was Kerry (which in itself was a little premature as we do not know when Secretary Clinton will step down), SIX former and current WH staffers leaked to the media it was Rice. It was a done deal, etc. I love Susan Rice. I hope it is her if it is not Kerry. I may even wish it was her rather than Kerry. But really? SIX people.

I think that some of the people who are claiming Kerry is too valuable in the Senate are suspect too. I do not think those people in the Democratic Party who dislike Kerry (not talking about DUers here, but people who are players in this game) have disappeared. They have just repackaged their argument another way. He is too valuable. Menendez would be a bad SFRC chair (I remember when the argument was that Feingold would be a bad chair in 2008). So, yes, I agree with protectourfuture. I wont be happy if we have a new Senate campaign next year, but I wished people who do not want Kerry could show enough respect to stop talking how it would be inconvenient that he became SoS.
