Anyone mentioned for the job is mentioned because in some way they were seen to be an outstanding choice. Unlike running for an office, it does not matter who is seen by the general public to be the best. Only one man will really make that choice - Obama. He also will not have to explain it to us. I wish that people would not attack the good people who are speculated to be possible nominees. Kerry and the others deserve the respect they have earned that led them to be on that list.

I do hope that if the reason is the Senate, top Democrats recognize the sacrifice made to stay in the Senate. I think the reason should also be the contributions that he is making and will make in the Senate - not that the damaged Scott Brown could get another two years - before being thrown out again. (Massachusetts people - How damaged to you think Brown is? By election, were people both voting for Warren and against win or was it more like when people voted against Weld for control of the Senate? )

I have to say I distrust deeply the guys who wrote this article Mass Nov 2012 #4

I never thought Axelrod liked Senator Kerry that much. wisteria Nov 2012 #10

didn't Axelrod work for Kerry ? JI7 Nov 2012 #11

I don't think he did Inuca Nov 2012 #14

He works for John Edwards during the primary. I dont think he worked for Kerry. Mass Nov 2012 #17

Agreed, especially as this comes out when it is clear Axelrod was wrong there karynnj Nov 2012 #21

Even more compliments here Luftmensch067 Nov 2012 #5

Good to read, but it will not happen. Mass Nov 2012 #6

I would be happy with either, but hope if Kerry really still strongly wants it that he gets it karynnj Nov 2012 #7

Where have you been reading this? wisteria Nov 2012 #12

The speculation I've seen/read Inuca Nov 2012 #15

The first paragraph of this article is a good summary of what I see, Mass Nov 2012 #16

Maybe they just want him to be SOS, because he is the best person for this job. wisteria Nov 2012 #9

I prefer JK stay in the SEnate also JI7 Nov 2012 #13

As someone outside of Mass, I don't get enough SOS speculation. wisteria Nov 2012 #8

I am so tired of these articles. Who knows what is actually happening. I find unseemly that the Mass Nov 2012 #19

It seems I am in the minority on this. wisteria Nov 2012 #20

Thanks. I agree totally Mass Nov 2012 #28

I was stunned when they mentioned Weld, as his life after being Governor is not impressive. karynnj Nov 2012 #34

Thanks for defending JK, "He needs to take naps" LOL. wisteria Nov 2012 #29

The guy replied and keeps insisting. I mean, is he by the Senator's side beachmom Nov 2012 #30

Yes, it reads as if he is too old for the position. wisteria Nov 2012 #31

No, just against JK leaving the Senate, and wouldn't be good as SoS. nt beachmom Nov 2012 #35

All I can think is that he is referring to a JK comment when campaigning karynnj Nov 2012 #33

That was amazingly stupid - and your responses were fantastic karynnj Nov 2012 #32

Okay, very weird: beachmom Nov 2012 #36
