The Massachusetts Senator would replace outgoing Secretary of State Hilary Clinton.
President Obama plans to nominate U.S. Senator John Kerry for Secretary of State, according to ABC News. Kerry, if nominaed by Obama and confirmed by the Senate, would replace outgoing Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Obama has reportedly made his decision but does not plan to announce it within the next few days, partly because of sensitivities surrounding the mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Kerry became the front runner for the top diplomatic post in the wake of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice withdrawing her name from consideration. Kerry had reportedly been under consideration for the Secretary of Defense post, but former U.S. Senator Charles Hagel, R-Neb., tops the list of potential nominees for that…

Pres. Obama's candidate for Secretary of State has withdrawn her bid to be top diplomat. Does that mean Mass. Sen. John Kerry is next up for consideration?
President Obama said this week that U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice had withdrawn from consideration to be the next Secretary of State, saying conservative opposition would make her candidacy too "disruptive." With Rice out of the picture, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is seen by many to be the frontrunner to replace current top diplomat Hillary Clinton. On 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. Scott Brown to his successful Democratic rival, Elizabeth Warren. We asked last month about who you think should run for the Senate seat, if, in fact, Kerry is…

If federal lawmakers don't come to a budget agreement by deadline, some questions you need to ask.
[UPDATE 11:27 p.m.] Washington lawmakers reportedly struck a last-minute deal tonight to avert a government shutdown, which would have taken effect at 11:59 p.m.] Republican and Democratic lawmakers will -- eventually -- make a budget deal. But what could happen in the meantime? To judge by the last time, when the government closed down in 1995-1996: essential work goes on, but 'non-essential' does not. Since that overview is a little ambiguous, Patch explored possible impact on what you might need or want to do after the midnight Friday deadline. Q: Will my Congressmember's office be open and taking phone calls or emails to let them know how I feel about this? A: Still to be determined, but probably not. According to U.S. Sen. John Kerry…

A wrap-up of Newton news from the last seven days.
Did you miss something this week in Newton? Here's an update on a few of the stories Newton Patch has covered for the last seven days. The School Committee decided at their Monday night meeting to wait on a vote that would expand facilities at F.A. Day Middle School. With budget constraints and quality of students' education on the line, the committee agreed it would be best not to rush into a decision. As the district grapples with increased enrollment and aging buildings, the administration has expressed a serious need to add space to the middle school as well as several elementary schools. Three Mount Ida College students were arrested after students and police used iTunes and Bluetooth devices to track down stolen laptops. In addition …
