John Kerry

(60,075 posts)1) This is NOT swiftboating. The only thing they are accusing her of is based on what she said on TV - in public. The administration has made it clear that she repeated what she was told - using what the CIA gave her. The difference between this and the lies of the SBVT are MAJOR - in that those accusations were lies about things that happened 35 years before - generated to destroy Kerry's attempt to be President.
2) There is nothing definite about a Hillary run and, more importantly, if you wanted a quick confirmation - choose Kerry to replace her as no one is suggesting that could be difficult. I doubt Hillary Clinton thinks Saul Alinsky was her mentor.
3) No one has suggested that Kerry replace Reid as Majority leader. The senior Democratic Senator is not the majority leader, but the one there the longest. (Do you think that Strom Thurmond was powerful when he was wheeled in ... and was the senior Republican?)
4) Given that you think there will be 8 years of President Hillary, where is that President Boehner, who no one I have ever seen has ever suggested he would either run or win a nomination, coming from.
5) I am sure that AS SOON AS OBAMA NOMINATES ANYONE (if it is not Kerry), he will endorse her or him.
