Obama considering John Kerry for job of defense secretary
By Karen DeYoung and Greg Miller, Published: November 12
President Obama is considering asking Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) to serve as his next defense secretary, part of an extensive rearrangement of his national security team that will include a permanent replacement for former CIA director David H. Petraeus.
Although Kerry is thought to covet the job of secretary of state, senior administration officials familiar with the transition planning said that nomination will almost certainly go to Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Of course this isn't unexpected speculation but it interests me because it would actually create another open Senate seat in Mass. Sen-elect Warren would also become the senior Senator from Mass.
Interesting dynamics for my state and being a Scott Brown supporter I wonder if he might consider going for it. I think not but who can know for certain. His name has also been talked about for Governor of Ma. if Patrick was called to serve in the Obama admin.
