Reply #12: I was talking about what Kerry has supposedly said. I have no clue [View All]

[Mass]

what Obama is thinking concerning a SoS position. I think there are better choice than Clinton, because Clinton in this position comes with Bill attached. This is not the domain where she has shown any special interest on her own, contrarely to defense or healthcare. I have no clue why this is done and will not speculate (previous speculations were mostly wrong, as I remember).

As for being letting down gently, I was not necessarily expecting Kerry to get it (if anything it was clear that the perspective of Feingold as chair of the SFRC was too much for the most moderate Democrats. The reports actually make me mad because they imply that the Clinton people in the transition team do not think Kerry should get it. I do not trust these reports either, but they are feuding dissension more than helping.
