Obama to nominate Kerry for secretary of state.(CNN).President Barack Obama will nominate Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts as the next secretary of state, a Democrat who spoke with Kerry told CNN.
The source also said Obama's announcement could come as early as this week. If confirmed by the Senate, Kerry would replace current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who plans to leave her post within the administration. A five-term senator and former Democratic presidential nominee, Kerry is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and, if he chooses to accept the nomination and is confirmed by the Senate, leaves a vacant seat in the Bay State, which would trigger a special election as early as May or June of next year.Hmmmmm......"You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" ~ Matthew 7:16.
