Obama/Kerry- possible cabinet choice?
What do you think of Obama maybe selecting John Kerry if he is elected, to secretary of state or something else in his cabinet? I think it is very likely.

1. That's very likely, and it would be a good idea to use his talent.

3. No, if anything because Kerry is running for his Senate seat in 08,
Not sure it would make sense politically anyway.

4. Should we wait til the empty suit gets the nomination even.
I think they have a better chance of getting in the cabinet if they endorsed Hillary or Edwards...

5. I'm torn
I would love Kerry to get in this administration if he is elected, but he is a very valuable voice in the Senate and we will have to give it up if he joins our administration.

6. Kerry would have more power in a Democratic Senate.
With Democrats in the majority, and a national reputation, Kerry may prefer being one of Obama's top allies in the Senate.

8. Attorney General!
If Kerry takes a job in the Democratic administration, I so want to see him in the top justice slot. There will be a lot of pant shitting if that happens.
