McCain was very supportive and flattering of Sec. State Kerry...

56. Ok

He may have, but his relationship with McCain and the way he went after Rice makes a lot of POTUS' supporters think that Kerry was just a bystander cause it was reported he was next in line and wanted the job.

The WH gets blame, (they aren't blaming Obama) Rice does too for "folding" but not as much as Kerry/McCain. That is why I think McCain embarrassed Kerry so that he would make people think Kerry take part in the takedown of Rice (and his Senate Seat) so he could get his dream job.

Ok, you're right. Reid didn't bash Kerry and I am wrong LOD would have been a bad choice, but having McCain say something makes it seem like something else happened. Maybe it's just a mistrust of anyone who isn't Obama, Biden, or Hillary. Most folks know McCain is still bitter over his 08 loss and his relationship with Kerry. He did defend her, but maybe a statement before her withdrawal would have helped.
