[In Maryland]

There’s probably too much time until next January for it to be stalled that long....that’s 9 months.

I don't know about that - anyone remember how long the Dems held up Borkh? Of the MS Judge who ultimately withdrew because he was guilty of the unspeakable act of "going easy" on a first-time, youthful offender who was involved in a cross-burning?

We have only 41 in the Senate.

If Obama proposes a radical liberal, then he might cause those 41 to come together.

If he proposes a moderate/liberal, then McCain’s gang of 14 (7 pubs) are already on record willing to support a “reasonable” choice.
