Kerry could be a winner in Nov. (Scott Brown, senior senator?)

Brown could beat Warren this year...but if Obama is re-elected, Kerry could be given a post in his administration--leading to a second election, which Warren could announce for...

[Humble Servant]

Holy Crap.

[BradtotheBone]

Horseface as Secretary of State ?!?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Isn’t there some Kennedy spawn layabout looking for a kewl gig between waitress sandwichs?

[raccoonradio]

If Bielat could beat JoeJoeJoe Kennedy maybe JoeJoeJoe could then run for Senate in a special election should (God help us) Obama
win re-election and tap Liveshot for Sec-State.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I predict the Fake Indian will still win with promises to hold public floggings of bankers.

If the Reps regain control of the Senate in 2012, Kerry will no longer be Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. He would lose considerable power.

If Obama loses, Kerry will have to reconsider his 2014 decision to run again. If Obama wins, it is a no-brainer that Kerry will jump to the Cabinet if the Reps gain control of the Senate.

Imagine Hanoi John telling world leaders about his secret mission in Cambodia. “It was Christmas of 68. Nixon sent me there. Good thing I had my lucky hat! I was in Vietnam, you know. Hey, wanna see my rice shrapnel scar?”

[Retired Greyhound]

Ambassador to Vietnam? I hear he’s been.

[thepatriot1]

depends in large part on the outcome of this year’s Senate race between U.S. Sen. Scott Brown

Ha.....sorry but I think the PRESIDENTIAL race will have a little more impact on this scenario Mr. Ed

[repentant_pundit]

Hard to believe Hanoi John would want to be Sec’y of State.

In that job, he would actually have to be on time for cetain meetings and be somewhat accountable to a boss (the president).

Instead of the Senator gig he’s had for 30 years, where he jets around, spews lies, and occasionally shows up in the Senate to vote the wrong way on a bill.

[Col Frank Slade]

The only plus I see with Kerry as Sec of State is he would be out of the country for long periods of time.

[Williams]

John Kerry is a despicable traitor to his country, and I do not use that term lightly.

[NonValueAdded]

Hey, hey;
Ho, ho;
Kerry: sign the one-eight-oh!

Not Fonda Kerry memories

Tonk Memorial post

[Riflema]

Really? Pray tell. I don’t recall it coming up before.

So Kerry loses the presidential race and they set him up for a reward in Obama’s cabinet? Now the Wise Cherokee is going to lose her Senate race, and they’re already planning to set her up for the other seat? Being on the left means never having to admit you’re a failure.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Or if, Insha-Allah, Romney wins and appoints Kerry ambassador to his much beloved and congenial France. France and Kerry deserve each other.

[outpostinmass2]

Where else would a liberal go? Certainly not the dreaded private sector.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I think Joe³ needs a few months of "seasoning" in the House before he's ready to move into the Senate. Hell, even great uncle JFK served six years in the House prior to being elevated to the Senate.

If Warren loses to Brown, especially if she loses decisively, she’s through. She big-footed all her significant rivals out of the primary with a nod from the White House. The knives are out for her.

Cloakley is essentially career limited to attorney general, no one in the Massachusetts Democratic Party wants anything to do with her, and she is a home-grown, dues-paying pol who worked her way up the greasy pole. Warren is an outsider who parachuted out of Harvard and the White House to descend on the snake pit of local Massachusetts politics.

If she fails to take out Brown, she is toast.
