(5,405 posts)I've seen people on THIS VERY BOARD attack Kerry for even considering giving up his job as if he were a selfish asshole. I've seen one poster say that Obama has "lost them" if they picked Kerry (who they went on to bash).
The Kerry bashing on this board has been fucking sickening since 2003 and honestly a lot of it is coming up again in this nomination situation. So I honestly don't care if people don't like me calling out the pathetic hand wringing and constant concern trolling over Kerry potentially getting this position. When other Dems leave the Senate, they rarely get bashed the way he does for doing absolutely nothing.
THAT is what is ridiculous here.
Oh and I can name two candidates that can beat Brown right now: Patrick and Markey. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Coakley was a terrible candidate in the general and didn't deserve to win. That will NOT happen again.
