6. Sigh, the chattering class is at work again.

I remember an article a few weeks ago stating that Kerry would not become SoS if Brown wins, as it would make him the Senior Senator in MA.

Now, we have an article concerning the opposing opinion: He cant be SoS if Warren wins because it would open a seat that could change the balance in the Senate.

These two articles just inspired me two thoughts.

- Some people are paid way too much to give their opinion to the media. Who cares, particularly when they have no clue one way or the other.

- There seems to be some fairly strong forces opposing this nomination, if I can believe the ink used to tell us why he will not win it. Though he has the endorsement of our junior senator, Mr Scalia's friend.

Anyway, why dont we wait until Obama wins and we know the balance in the Senate before we adjudicate a second term SoS seat.
