(15,774 posts)or why the Dems need to brush up on their chess.
Why all the resistance to Ms. Rice for Sec of State. Her public comments on the 9/11 attack on the Benghazi consulate was basically nothing more than repeating the information that she had at the time. She did what any team player would do. Even Obama was saying the same thing.
But this is what the GOP are up to. They have raise holy hell and objected to Rice outright, but the said that John Kerry would be a shoe in. Why is that? Well if Kerry is selected, that leaves his seat as senior Senator from Mass. as open. There will be a special election and the GOP will run Scott Brown as sure as I am typing this. I don't know enough about who they would pit against Brown but I know the GOP think they can weasel out another seat in the Senate.
I can appreciate their plotting but I have the feeling that they will throw a hissy at every candidate that isn't Kerry. So I am thinking maybe a recess appointment here. Just thinking out loud. It makes me mad that the GOP think the voting public, esp in Mass. is so stupid as to not see through their ruse. And I hope Kerry puts and end to it, I can't see him doing more in the State Department than he does as a Senator.
