It is pretty curious and rather sad when the main groups are nearly 100% behind them that they feel the need to question anyone not thinking she walks on water.

"Kerry Is the Right Choice [View all] wisteria Nov 2012 OP

VERY positive... YvonneCa Nov 2012 #1

You are welcome. It was nice to come accross this.n/t wisteria Nov 2012 #4

And it might positively pave the way for that idiot Brown Warpy Nov 2012 #2

I really don't see Brown regaining his seat. wisteria Nov 2012 #3

Maybe not at this moment, but in about four months BlueCaliDem Nov 2012 #7

+1. It's a very real fear, and most of us never thought he'd take Teddy's seat.... Tarheel_Dem Nov 2012 #53

I was pretty surprised myself. I really didn't think they'd fall for a Republican to take BlueCaliDem Nov 2012 #129

If this does happen, I hope the scenario you've laid out works to our benefit. I just remember... Tarheel_Dem Nov 2012 #131

Today, after Collin's turn to take Susan Rice's words out of context before the cameras, BlueCaliDem Nov 2012 #132

I'm right there with you. They think they deserve a do-over & taking Kerry's seat would accomplish Tarheel_Dem Nov 2012 #133

Exactly. AND they can support their beloved McCain as he tries to get Ambassador Rice back BlueCaliDem Nov 2012 #134

Have you heard of Youtubes? karynnj Nov 2012 #73

didn't he just lose haydukelives Nov 2012 #5

Warren was a powerhouse candidate Warpy Nov 2012 #10

He has expended himself. He won't even be able to raise the money he has in the past. wisteria Nov 2012 #13

if it means winning a Senate seat..... chillfactor Nov 2012 #56

Welcome to DU, chillfactor! calimary Nov 2012 #127

Would Rachel possibly reconsider a run? ashling Nov 2012 #118

Rachel Maddow? Warpy Nov 2012 #130

Warren will be an excellent Senator and had a fantastic background, but this was the first time karynnj Nov 2012 #125

Yes! You are right. n/t wisteria Nov 2012 #14

It would not. We just won two election cycles where people were saying Mass Nov 2012 #9

+1 n/t wisteria Nov 2012 #12

Kerry has always been my first choice. defacto7 Nov 2012 #6

I agree Kerry has a great background for the job.... chillfactor Nov 2012 #59

and the President has not made his choice yet karynnj Nov 2012 #76

no..the president has not chillfactor Nov 2012 #82

Of course I will - but I will discuss things with my friends here in OUR group karynnj Nov 2012 #126

Surprisingly, Chris Matthews had a segment saying the same thing. Mass Nov 2012 #8

I agree with you. It made no sense to go after Rice. wisteria Nov 2012 #11

They need a scandal. Jackpine Radical Nov 2012 #27

My best bet at this point is that it will be Rice. Mass Nov 2012 #15

Even more why would the acting head of CIA accompany her karynnj Nov 2012 #16

May be, but I am skeptical about the last part. Mass Nov 2012 #17

Not just the media, there were many Senators who praised Kerry karynnj Nov 2012 #18

Your last comment, wisteria Nov 2012 #43

Yes, but Rice is competent and her philosophy is not that different from Kerry. Mass Nov 2012 #46

Yes, why keep him in the mix when it is obvious what they plan on doing. wisteria Nov 2012 #24

I know I am terrible for saying this, but she apparently did not charm them today. wisteria Nov 2012 #21

maybe satxdem Nov 2012 #29

I certainly can not read her mind, and she may want to leave a very positive impact, but.... wisteria Nov 2012 #37

play that card if you want satxdem Nov 2012 #50

Better question - Why did you come to this group? karynnj Nov 2012 #63

why don't you stop responding to my post. satxdem Nov 2012 #65

I assure you that I am neither a "nutjob" or a Republican karynnj Nov 2012 #81

what exactly did i say when i first got here that was an insult to all? satxdem Nov 2012 #88

You know that we support Senator Kerry, wisteria Nov 2012 #108

yea. where was the insult? satxdem Nov 2012 #115

We do not call people insulting names here. wisteria Nov 2012 #84

you all are crazy. another name. satxdem Nov 2012 #93

Iam not biting. Sorry. wisteria Nov 2012 #110

and for all I know Kerry promised you one. satxdem Nov 2012 #112

Why are you here? wisteria Nov 2012 #113

oh good gawd.....wha is wrong with you? chillfactor Nov 2012 #66

Do you realize what the forum you are in is? karynnj Nov 2012 #79

Well, I have to be honest and say I don't support her. wisteria Nov 2012 #91

I believe Senator Kerry is a great man..... chillfactor Nov 2012 #109

This is the Kerry forum, I don't understand why you would even wisteria Nov 2012 #89

If you support Rice, go and start your own forum. wisteria Nov 2012 #111

your reply to the poster was unwarranted...... chillfactor Nov 2012 #62

This is the JK group - a place where it is reasonable that people are likely to support JK karynnj Nov 2012 #64

other folks here also support Susan Rice...... chillfactor Nov 2012 #75

Holy Crap! What part about John Kerry Group do you not understand? Blaukraut Nov 2012 #78

why are you coming after me? chillfactor Nov 2012 #85

If you actually read my posts, you'd see that I have no problem with Susan Rice as SoS Blaukraut Nov 2012 #90

simple yes..but I was NOT attacking anyone..let alone Kerry chillfactor Nov 2012 #114

or we can stay on this one? satxdem Nov 2012 #87

The point, once again, was this: Blaukraut Nov 2012 #98

the point is you don't know me. satxdem Nov 2012 #104

On DU, that is the norm, but you misunderstand what I wrote karynnj Nov 2012 #83

Some here will support the President's choice. wisteria Nov 2012 #117

No, you are the one who has not bothered to take the time to learn the organizational karynnj Nov 2012 #119

Exactly. n/t wisteria Nov 2012 #96

Thank you. satxdem Nov 2012 #68

Why did you search out anything in this group? karynnj Nov 2012 #71

no. satxdem Nov 2012 #77

she was not "attacking" anyone..... chillfactor Nov 2012 #80

Oh the irony. Can YOU accept it, too? Blaukraut Nov 2012 #86

dont put words in my mouth. satxdem Nov 2012 #95

You suggested this not her. wisteria Nov 2012 #99

You have had your say, support whom you want. wisteria Nov 2012 #94

what is your point? satxdem Nov 2012 #100

Whatever. wisteria Nov 2012 #116

I agree.. chillfactor Nov 2012 #58

Good for you. That doesn't mean I support his choice, wisteria Nov 2012 #101

And, the more you post here, wisteria Nov 2012 #106

Judging by the latest reports (no links, just MSNBC, etc) Blaukraut Nov 2012 #19

I mostly agree Mass Nov 2012 #20

So he is only a vote? wisteria Nov 2012 #23

That's my problem too karynnj Nov 2012 #25

I do see a fight if Kerry were nominated for SOD, wisteria Nov 2012 #40

This is unfair concerning Rice. Mass Nov 2012 #42

I'm not sure why you feel the need to trash Rice in your effort to promote Kerry. Tarheel_Dem Nov 2012 #70

Ms. Rice is not as qualified as the Senator. wisteria Nov 2012 #120

"To bad I have no vote," Tarheel_Dem Nov 2012 #128

Whatever, I doubt the entire party is on board with just one candidate. n/t wisteria Nov 2012 #135

You have taken the words right out of my mouth. wisteria Nov 2012 #22

why is it so personal? satxdem Nov 2012 #32

I agree that either one is qualified - but this is the JK group karynnj Nov 2012 #33

Thank you, Karyn. Blaukraut Nov 2012 #34

Bravo, if you could see me, I am giving you a standing ovation!!!!! n/t wisteria Nov 2012 #45

thanks karynnj Nov 2012 #52

What you said. Mass Nov 2012 #47

see this is what I mean. satxdem Nov 2012 #51

You can't praise Kerry because McCain is? That is completely batshit crazy karynnj Nov 2012 #57

Twisting things. satxdem Nov 2012 #61

As you are new, you do not understand the concept of the groups here karynnj Nov 2012 #92

it makes you wonder does it not? chillfactor Nov 2012 #102

that's exactly why. satxdem Nov 2012 #107

Really, go read some of the right wing posts about his wisteria Nov 2012 #121

Have you paid attention which group this is? Blaukraut Nov 2012 #35

yes i have paid attention. satxdem Nov 2012 #55

It is personal because, the President has used the Senator in the past, wisteria Nov 2012 #41

This is unfair. Mass Nov 2012 #44

You don't think Clinton was a poltical choice? wisteria Nov 2012 #48

At this time it is really not a prudent idea to risk his seat. We need him in the Senate now. It still_one Nov 2012 #26

Ditto! I don't want Obama freeing up Kerry's seat for Scott Brown MotherPetrie Nov 2012 #30

or someone else. I want Kerry's experience in the Senate. I believe he will protect our interests still_one Nov 2012 #31

Who is to say he will even run again? Blaukraut Nov 2012 #36

I don't agree with your assessment. wisteria Nov 2012 #123

K&R for Senator Kerry. patrice Nov 2012 #28

NYT Friedman flippant opinion... YvonneCa Nov 2012 #38

Thanks. I was going to post this. I did not read the column to see his reasoning, but I got a good Mass Nov 2012 #39

You are welcome. Comic relief is often... YvonneCa Nov 2012 #74

What did Duncan do, buy him dinner or something? wisteria Nov 2012 #49

it is not our job to make or to recommend........ chillfactor Nov 2012 #54

The President has named no one yet .... but YOU came to the Kerry group karynnj Nov 2012 #67

True, but I am entitled to my opinion, wisteria Nov 2012 #103

I find it curious that a number of posters feel the need to come in here to tell us how to feel Blaukraut Nov 2012 #60

+100000000 karynnj Nov 2012 #69

The ultimate irony is that I don't even want JK to be SoS and believe Susan Rice will do a fine job Blaukraut Nov 2012 #72

Me too n/t wisteria Nov 2012 #124

Dont feel the trolls. Mass Nov 2012 #97

Good advice as always! I should have ignored them a long time ago! karynnj Nov 2012 #122

This is how I feel too. wisteria Nov 2012 #105
