I wouldn't be surprised if Sen. Kerry winds up on the investigative panel that Sen. Reid is forming among Dems. This panel, which would allow Dems to unoffically but sort of officially, investigate the Bush Administration is a terrific idea. I would be shocked if Kerry doesn't wind up on this committee (and whatever sub-committees come from it.) Investigations are his speciality. He would be terrific on a panel investigating what is happening to returning Iraq vets as to their medical (physicial and psychological) needs. 20 years on the Foreign relations committee should help with other committees whose purpose will be to show where the Bushies royally screwed up.
This will be very interesting. I have heard both good and bad about Kerry's standing with Dems after the election. We will see how that situation resolves in January when the Dems come out fighting on this. (Again, this panel is a terrific idea.) If Kerry gets placement, then the Dem Senate leadership sees he has a prominent role to play. (Maybe cuz he got almost 59 million votes nationally that we know of.) If he doesn't get placement, well, we'll see what that means as well. (Ah politics, ever interesting.)
