“Professors and students at the law school reacted cautiously to Mr. Obama’s selection. ‘’For better or for worse, people will view it as historically significant,’’ said Prof. Randall Kennedy, who teaches contracts and race relations law. ‘’But I hope it won’t overwhelm this individual student’s achievement.’’”

So nobody was all that titillated about his “selection”...wasn’t it supposed to be an “election”??

Overwhelm Obama’s achievement??? Huh?
