So this list is cast in stone, just because the AP says so??
Extremely premature, and nothing more than news fodder at this point. In fairness, I doubt that the Administration even has a long list at this point....
In any case, I thin Obama’s biggest problem will be his own Democrats in the Senate....not the Republicans....
It doesn’t work that way - he’ll only put a name before a Dem run committee that has the votes going into hearings. It’s a lay down deal - he’ll get exactly what he wants.
