Given the grief he's gotten over the years about his constituent services, I particularly appreciated the statement: "Our citizens will lost a strong advocate in the Senate, someone who could and would cut through the federal bureaucracy on behalf of his constituents and our elected officials. During budget negotiations, Kerry and his staff knew how to deliver to the state". .

A Talking Head said about 5 years ago that "John Kerry is the most underrated politician in America". I wish I could remember who it was, but,anyway, he's right.

And I liked the last paragraph, too. Congratulations, Sen. Kerry. I'm glad that you will be representing us to the world. And I also wish you safe and rewarding travels in your new, richly deserved post.
