Nov 2012

I never cared for Scott Brown, and neither does Harry Reid. After losing his senate race to Elizabeth Warren last week, Brown wasn't willing to close the door on any open office in the very near future. Particularly in running for the other Massachusetts seat, which will almost certainly be open, as President Obama is likely to tap Sen. John Kerry for either Secretary of Defense, or Secretary of State.

<...>

As far as the possibility of him running for Kerry's seat, when it becomes open. Harry Reid showed no concern, and said the following:

"We feel very comfortable -- if, in fact, something does happen -- we feel comfortable about Massachusetts," Reid said. "I think that I've already told you how I feel about Scott Brown."

Right on!

What is slightly illogical is that they are concerned about 2014 - but ignore that karynnj Dec 2012 #30

Not Kerry's peers in the Senate - like Ben Cardin per the quote that I posted in the other thread karynnj Nov 2012 #6
