Kerry, Kerry, Kerry!

24. I doubt he would be asked or interested

I would think that his only value as a VP would be with a nominee who is seen as young, not too experienced and having limited foreign policy experience. (like Biden for Obama - where Biden had the additional being as mid America as it gets.)

It is near certain that Clinton will be the nominee. It is not clear what Kerry could bring to her ticket. In addition, the role of VP is defined by the President - other than being second in line and breaking votes in the Senate. I don't see what he would get out of it - I assume he prefers being SoS. (Biden was already considered too old to be considered as Obama's successor - Kerry is one year younger than Biden.)

Add the personal side - he would have to step down as SoS, because a SoS can not be involved in political campaigns. Teresa's health has been shaky, though she has been recovering. I would bet that when 2017 comes, Kerry will graciously retire after a very long career of public service.

He is a remarkable person - likely the best of his generation and though he might have made an exceptional President, it is likely not going to happen.
