You mean, Mass. governor.

I like the kook from the 9th Circus. The 9th Circus is always good for a laugh or two. Especially when they are dealing with legal decisions. The SCOTUS could use a little humor right now.

Headline reads: “A look at potential Obama nominees to high court (Includes NY Governor Deval Patrick!)”
I thought Deval Patrick was Mass. and that Paterson was NY.

Surely you can’t be serious. Deval Patrick is the governor of MA not NY. I don’t think David Paterson is even a lawyer.

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....

Actually, the article misses a few nominees rumored to be on Obama's short list...
- - Mickey Pfleger,
- - Cindy Sheehan,
- - Ward Churchill,
- - Daniel Ortega,
- - Cher
and his very favorite...
- - Bill Ayers

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.

No matter what, I’m sure it will be some far left wing goon that the media tells us is a moderate...
