"Kerry Is the Right Choice

33. I agree that either one is qualified - but this is the JK group

It is presumptuous to come and say that we are wrong to mention that Kerry has likely now been used twice with his name leaked by Obama people then rejected to his detrement. I'm sorry if our criticism of the Obama team offends you.

Given that every other forum is singing the praises of Rice - mostly based on the fact that the Republicans are attacking her rather than any long term regard for her - and many are dismissing Kerry. I posted long ago in the gd forum that I think either qualified and I have no problem with those valuing Kerry elsewhere.

It is just that all of us have seen for 4 years stories of this or that being a test for Kerry - suggesting that he lacks something for the position. The fact is that there are people close to Obama whose leaks have been damaging to Kerry.

In fact, where Obama and the entire left blogosphere have defended Rice (Kerry was among the first), NO ONE haws defended Kerry when the LEAK of Kerry for SOD led to major, just as unfair if not more, attacks on him.

Kerry has been a great Senator and a great chair for SFRC - yet he very rarely gets much credit for any of the things he has done. The most bizarre attacks were those that blamed him for Obama's poor performance in the first debate - which wAS oBAMA'S FAULT - and it should be noted no one credited Kerry for the two good debates.
