President Barack Obama has decided to nominate senator John Kerry as the next secretary of state, to replace Hillary Clinton, according to two major news outlets. An announcement is possible before Christmas.

Kerry, a senior ranking Democrat who ran for the White House in 2004, emerged as favourite after the US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, withdrew from contention on Thursday. That speculation hardened over the weekend, with both ABC and CNN reporting that Obama had opted for Kerry.

He was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for the presidency in 2004. Kerry’s a decorated Vietnam War veteran, you may remember some right-wing organisations tried to smear him in what was known as the “Swift boat affair”. Married to very rich Heinz foods heiress Teresa Heinz-Kerry. Looks a bit like a donkey.

"Right-wing organisations" - That's the Republican party and Vietnam war 'hero' George Bush jnr, you mean?
