John Kerry

The earlier time Kerry spent a day with Warren, he made a very strong argument based on the control of the Senate. He has also fund raised for Warren.

I fully agree with you that Kerry is motivated by the good of the country.

I agree that if the Senate is very narrowly divided, it could hurt Kerry's chances, but it is very likely that as Chair of SFRC he would still be a very key player. It is also worth noting that even RCP is predicting 53 Democrats (or independents caucusing with them). This is far beyond expectations a half year ago.

It also ignores that Brown, out of office and a loser, will not be as strong as he is now. In addition, I wonder how losing will impact this emotionally insecure person - who even if he ran and won, would then be AGAIN the most junior Senator with no seniority and not even the pretense of being the ranking member of any committee! (Warren might set a record as the least senior Senior Senator of a state.) Would kings and queens - or the President or Secretary of State - want to call the most junior Senator there is?
