John Kerry Confirmed As Secretary of State

Kerry will replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.

 

With only three dissenting votes, the U.S. Senate has confirmed John Kerry as the new Secretary of State.

Kerry will take over for Hillary Clinton, who is leaving her post after serving for four years.

The move means Kerry will have to resign as a senator soon paving the way for a special senate election. The primary election is scheduled for April 30 and the general election will be held on June 25. 

U.S. Congressman Ed Markey, D-MA, has announced he is running for the seat. U.S. Congressman Stephen Lynch, D-MA has hinted that he may run. 

As for an interim senator for Kerry's seat, Gov. Deval Patrick plans to announce his pick on Wednesday, Jan. 30, according to the Boston Herald.

Such courage, ...always having to make tough decisions - where to golf, where to dine, where to park my yacht to screw taxpayers out of $50,000, - a real man of the people, like Bloomberg or Soros, struggling to get by.
