Let's see....he spent twenty years in the Senate and never lead on anything....We know know that during the campaign he would call people to "ask" them what he should say about issues (even calling DON IMUS).
If Kerry "leads" in the Senate, it will be the first time in his life....oh,wait, that's right, he can call France and ask them what he should do in the Senate, and THEN lead.
He'll hold court like a president in exile. Plenty of people will go along with the charade, especially the lickspittle Europeans.
