Is John Kerry to be stuck in his senate seat?

It seems a major reason Republicans are bad-mouthing Susan Rice is that they want Kerry to be the nominee for Secretary of State, thereby opening up a Massachusetts senate seat. Apparently they assume Scott Brown could win in a special election. It seems a better response by the Democrats would be to promote a strong contender for the vacancy rather than allowing Kerry to be stuck in place. After all, he is also a good nominee for other cabinet posts.

    Kind of interesting actually.

    Makes you wonder if they were the ones claiming he was being considered.

    Rice isn't qualified to be Secy of State. Honestly, I think Hillary has done a pretty good job - she is a bit of a hardass. Just like Madeline Albright was, and Condi Rice. Rice has to hide behind Obama and that just automatically disqualifies her. If she can't stand up to some GOP criticism, how will she deal with Iran, China or Russia?

    As for Kerry, I don't see anyone jumping on the "let's promote him" bandwagon.
