Do any of my fellow long term JK supporters buy into the -Kerry =Brown theory?

78. I didn't know there was an official John Kerry board, but

I worked extremely hard for Kerry in 2004.

Unless the Democratic governor has the authority to name a very strong replacement for Kerry very soon, I think Kerry should stay in the Senate.

He does such a good job there. We really need him there. He is very calm and very diplomatic, traits that would be great in the State Department, but sometimes he is too passive, and that could be a problem.

I felt he was too passive in 2004, too slow to respond to the crazy criticisms from the right. He wasn't as bad as Dukakis, but Kerry just did not fight hard enough.

Hillary Clinton is quite a fighter -- too much of a fighter on occasion -- but we need someone who is strong in the State Department. I really like Kerry, but I'm not sure he is fighter enough for the State Department.

When he was young, he found the courage to stand strongly for what was right even when he was surrounded by dark forces that hated him. But in recent years, I have not seen that strength. That is especially true in Ohio after the election in 2004.
