BOSTON (AP) -- John Kerry says he is planning to run for a sixth term in the U.S. Senate and has begun fundraising for his 2014 campaign.

That's actually not ‘news’.

News would be him NOT running for reelection.

;-)

Is he going to run on his war record?

The empty suit is running again. If they re-elect him, they deserve him.

Senator for life. He can’t spend all his time on the yacht or with Teresa. Such a noble aristocrat who loves giving back to the little people.

In Mass., he runs on his Irish heritage; war record is for national races.

John Kerry.

Ya gotta just give pause to reflect on what his presidencey would have been like.

Somewhat laughably, with respect to Obama’s Press Guys, would Kerry have to have had a Press Sec from the Blue Man group?

“fundraising”? The richest man in the Senate and he is asking broke Americans to fund his campaign? There just something wrong about this. But then again, there is something wrong with Kerry. He never had a decent job in his life. He even screwed up his Navy record.

Please, he doesn’t need to raise money, the Massholes will re-elect him even if he had a gay prostitution ring running in his DC home. Isn’t that right, Bawney Fwank?

What a treat. He’s decided to use the Senate as his retirement home.

BUT...there's always a BUT....

Kerry will run, and be re-elected. The GOP will also take over the Senate...easily. If, if..Obama wins, as Hillary has said she's only serving as SecState for one term, Kerry will resign (no fun being in the minority) and become Obama's SecState..this will allow him to travel the world...pontificating...blathering...it's his lifelong dream.

Further..and here it gets interesting..that will allow Patrick to appoint the replacement for Kerry. Could it be Warren, or more likely, as one Mass rep will lose his CD because of redistricting....there may be a deal in the works...or could Patrick even decide to appt himself....hey it's Massachussets after all..
