Obama will nominate a real wacko this time, either female or african american.

And then he'll pray the confirmation hearings are polarizing enough for the media to frame, in their typical style, to get the vote out in november.

Yeah but they’ve already made their selection and Holder’s heading for The Supremes!

Y'all are on the right track, but 0 will surely nominate a gay guy or out the closet lesbian (Janet Reno does not count).

Everyone needs to remember Zero and his minions' need to be "Historic." Hispanic and woman have already been done.

It is all some kind of scam. I don't know exactly what they're up to yet.

Maybe Obama will dress up Eric Holder in drag, like Flip Wilson, and then nominate Erica Holder for the position. Then Holder, as Erica, can sit there in a wig and a dress and talk about how honest and wonderful and handsome Eric Holder is.

If that happened, the NY Times would write articles about the intransigent Republicans and their insane, sexist and racist conspiracy theories about the origins of Erica Holder.

It's all stream of consciousness here, just go with me...

I don’t think he would waste McCaskill as while she would be replaced with a Democrat, that Democrat could not win an election.

It will be an unheard of woman, with a backstory of hardship, single mom and or a baby killer and maybe even a lesbian with a baby or adopted baby.

He needs some major distraction and there would be no distraction like a Senate confirmation hearing for a far left, lesbian mother who is married to another woman and has an abortion story and maybe even a sexual harassment story.

This will be all brought to you commercial free by Obama-DNC Productions and CNN, Fox and MSNBC.

Read 27. It will be some variation of that post or rather simplified in order to piss off liberal women and get them to the polls.

It would be great if they had to confirm a new candidate within 30 days.

It will be Hillary!
She will then have direct access to FBI and NSA records.
Other 2016 contenders will drop out with ‘Prostate Cancer’
She will also be in just the right place to force Biden out
prior to 2016 with a ‘Brain tumor’. It would be an easy step from AG to VP. She will have covered all the bases for her POTUS run as Senator, Sec State, AG, and VP.

Be interesting to see how he’s going to be paid for past services or does he just take possession of the offshore accounts?

I disagree. He won't pick a nobody. It'll be some hardcore leftist shark from the Clinton Administration. A heavy hitter, like Vernon Jordan, if he's still capable.

Obama wants the confirmation battle to be ugly and wants to fire up the base. He'll want a hardcore bastard with a lofty leftist history, so they can make a big show of him bravely facing down Republican questioning.

And the Republicans will cower and back down.

They would continue to `go along to get along’.
It’s like having Pee Wee Herman for a champion.
