Reply #3: My guess is that they may be people we have never heard of

who are long time supporters of the Senator. I wonder if "Carol" was part of the Democratic establishment in Massachusetts, who has stepped down. Is there "Carol" who lose a MA seat or Congressional seat? (I checked Carol Shea Porter's bio and her husband is named Gene.) It could also be a staffer leaving Kerry's office. (His top climate change person left but her name is Kathleen - but googling for that to get the name, I found video of the Morning Joe appearance which I posted to that thread.) So, my internet investigation - a complete failure - other than finding the video I unsuccessfully looked for last week.

I doubt they would have a more personal relationship with Kerry and Teresa as twitter would have been an unlikely media to use.
