Reply #4: Same worry here [View All]

Does anyone know when the Massachuchetts primary is? Would he be allowed to run for both - at least through the nomination phase? I realize this would mean that Massachusetts might need a second primary if Kerry won the Presidential nomination.

I share the same fears you mention - he is a great statesman, with a unique dedication to speaking against the real corruption in government. I would guess that he wouldn't totally be out of government if a Democrat wins the White House. He would seem a great choice for Secretary of state or secretary to the UN (fixing a lot of damage). Attorney General would be a natural - but only a brave Democrat would likely give him that. He would make an excellent Secretary of Defense - one who cares for troops and veterans - but the confirmation would likely be nasty. (Although as a former Senator he would likely win)
