Kerry will replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
With only three dissenting votes, the U.S. Senate has confirmed John Kerry as the new Secretary of State, reports the Boston Herald.

With Rice out of the picture, Massachusetts U.S. Sen. John Kerry is seen by many to be the frontrunner to replace current top diplomat Hillary Clinton. On the Huffington Post and elsewhere, there has been speculation that the reason for such fierce opposition to Rice was to get Kerry into the Obama Administration and get back the U.S. Senate seat recently lost by Republican Sen.
