What the hell is up with all the "Kerry to the Cabinet" Posts?

Seriously. We aren't trying for "Senator Brown: the remix". My God, I bet his offices aren't even cleaned out yet.

Is this some kind of ruse?

President, based on White House sources, is seriously considering offering Senator Kerry the position.

I really wish the President and the people advising him would consider the democratic voters in Massachusetts, of which I am one. Taking Kerry out of the Senate will throw us into the fourth expensive, tough election in 2 years (Kennedy replacement, 2010 Gubernatorial, 2012 Senate). I am at the breaking point. All three previous elections were expensive and divisive, I am under no allusion that a Kerry replacement election will be different. Leave us alone, we have been through enough, let us get back to regular elections.

Because I am sure the president knows this. I am sure his people know this.

There seem to be so many other people qualified. All I am saying is this seems hinky.

I really hope the President looks elsewhere for Cabinet members. Taking Kerry out of the Senate, risking losing a safe seat, doesn't make sense to me. It does seem to be the rumour, and not just here, but I hope it's wrong.
