It is bizarre that when essentially proven wrong, he tried to insist that physically fit or not, he could not handle it. I saw your post too late to make it worth responding - but seriously, how did he miss the marathon debate where Kerry spent HOURS on the Senate floor dispatching every Republican attack on START for several days. (Or the days spent in Pakistan with the tricky Raymond Davis situation or the days shuttling back and forth getting Kharzi to agree to follow the law.)

The fact is that JK was less impacted by fatigue in 2004 - as he recovered from cancer (likely the weakest period of his life) than HRC was in 2008 when she was clearly frazzled at points late in the campaign.

I never thought Axelrod liked Senator Kerry that much. wisteria Nov 2012 #10

didn't Axelrod work for Kerry ? JI7 Nov 2012 #11

I don't think he did Inuca Nov 2012 #14

He works for John Edwards during the primary. I dont think he worked for Kerry. Mass Nov 2012 #17

Even more compliments here Luftmensch067 Nov 2012 #5

Good to read, but it will not happen. Mass Nov 2012 #6

I would be happy with either, but hope if Kerry really still strongly wants it that he gets it karynnj Nov 2012 #7

The speculation I've seen/read Inuca Nov 2012 #15

The first paragraph of this article is a good summary of what I see, Mass Nov 2012 #16

Maybe they just want him to be SOS, because he is the best person for this job. wisteria Nov 2012 #9

I prefer JK stay in the SEnate also JI7 Nov 2012 #13

As someone outside of Mass, I don't get enough SOS speculation. wisteria Nov 2012 #8

I was stunned when they mentioned Weld, as his life after being Governor is not impressive. karynnj Nov 2012 #34

Thanks for defending JK, "He needs to take naps" LOL. wisteria Nov 2012 #29

The guy replied and keeps insisting. I mean, is he by the Senator's side beachmom Nov 2012 #30

Yes, it reads as if he is too old for the position. wisteria Nov 2012 #31

No, just against JK leaving the Senate, and wouldn't be good as SoS. nt beachmom Nov 2012 #35

All I can think is that he is referring to a JK comment when campaigning karynnj Nov 2012 #33
