Kerry's speech on Romney's ridiculous Iran oped was very good. It also really has NOTHING to do with Mitt being a former MA governor, Kerry would be the top Democratic foreign policy voice in the Senate - even if Gingrich or Santorum were the nominee.

As you warned, the authors are quite lazy repeating the media's view of Kerry that NEVER had anything to do with who he is. They have to realize that Kerry's fundamental positions are similar to the ones that he has held all his life. They also bring up his incredible leadership on START, but then spoke of his weak record - when if he were given credit - as anyone else is, he would have a long list of things that he led on or added to.

I do like that they ended with quoting a Kerry friend saying that he is more content than he has been for years. It is nice to think that he really is happy doing what he is doing -- even if like now it is visiting Afghanistan.
