BOSTON (AP) ― Sen. John Kerry easily won re-election just four years after he fell short in his bid for the presidency.

The Massachusetts Democrat on Tuesday beat a fellow veteran, Republican Jeff Beatty, in his first campaign since failing as his party's 2004 White House nominee.

Kerry won another six-year term after tamping down questions about whether he would take an administration role if fellow Democrat Barack Obama wins the presidency.

Kerry has been mentioned as a potential secretary of state or defense secretary.

The senator came into the general election after beating Edward O'Reilly in September, the first time Kerry faced a primary challenger since first winning his seat in 1984.

The AP called the race based on an analysis of voter interviews, conducted for The Associated Press by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International.
