Why not elect John Kerry to be the Senate leader?

[Jackson4Gore]

I mean he is better than Reid and has the exposure to draw us some good coverage. Kerry by far is more likeable and popular than Reid and we know he will stand up for what is best for our country. Kerry for Senate Leader!

1. Kerry is just as spineless as Daschle was

I would prefer a leader who voted AGAINST the Iraq war. That's how I was able to accept Pelosi as house leader.

2. So you supported Kerry 100% as President, but now you condem him?

4. In case you missed it darboy was never a big fan of Kerry

Neither was I. I've had enough of the nuancing of his positions. Kerry lost and I'm done making excuses for him

6. Clearly you never read the transcript from the floor that day

[Pastiche423]

3. Because he's not a leader?

[Tweed]

5. We need to give a strong microphone to a new leader

John Kerry's opinon will be sought after because he ran for President. The mainstream media has more reason to bring in Durbin, Reid, Byrd, etc. for interviews if they are the Minority Leader. They will get press time and their face will get known.

7. Ted Kennedy

Why Not?
