If the GOP had played it straight and not like thugs, Obama would have chosen a moderate such as Sri Srinivasan. But since the GOP has announced they intend to reject everyone, the author of the article speculated that Obama might throw caution to the winds and do a recess appointment of a genuine liberal.

Hey, that works for me.

Whatever happens, this particular segment of the campaign season is turning into premium spectator sport.
