4. Thank you, karynnj. As to how media would respond to total success...

...I probably am pretty cynical.

I think they will continue to refuse to credit this administration...and Kerry...for anything positive and continue, sadly, to blame them for anything and everything they see as negative. Example: My grandson gets the flu...it's Obama and/or Kerry's fault because they Failed to wipe down the desks properly.

But, more seriously, media will probably revert to form: A Kerry FP success will mean CNN will criticize, MSNBC/NBC will criticize but pretend not to, and FOX will switch subject matter to Benghazi(or other long running attack story).

DU, which has been a good news source in the past, will be interesting to watch. Some here will be elated because they, like us, do pay attention. But others will realize the impact on upcoming elections and respond accordingly, IMHO.

As to RP in your previous post...
He seems to understand what Obama/Kerry are trying to accomplish. As a possible presidential candidate, he will be loud about what he thinks. I think that could be a good debate to have for 2016 no matter who enters the race.
