Well, that took long. Just days after Susan Rice took her name out of the hat to be Secretary of State, there are rumors flying that John Kerry's appointment is pretty much a done deal. Two columnists reported hearing the President already decided on Kerry within the last 24 hours. The first, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed. A source told him the President has decided Kerry would get the job. The other, Fox News House House coorespondant Ed Henry. A source told him it's "basically a done deal."
