Funny how Democrats get all shocked when one of their champions are about to screw them over.
US SENATOR John Kerry owed Massachusetts voters more candor as he sought a fifth term.
During his recent reelection bid, he said, “I intend to serve my term. If I’m elected, that’s what I’m doing.” Politicians frequently do this. They pretend they have no ambition beyond their current office. It’s a standard part of the political game.
But in Kerry’s case, his interest in being secretary of state in a Barack Obama administration was widely discussed in Massachusetts political circles. The average voter deserved to be clued in.
The average voter could have known, IF the media did its job.
But then again, they did.
He doesn’t know anyone else.
Except “supporters and campaign loyalists who for one reason or another can’t be employed by the Administration or in the federal government”, as we learned from an earlier posting.
One can only hope for Obama to draw ALL his cabinet from the Senate. I’d use the phrase “Brain Drain” but we are talking about Democrats, after all.
