1. Not exactly a hard prediction to make.

Rahm's gotta know that Obama could put up Jesus himself and the Republicans would still fight them tooth and nail.

[Fumesucker]

2. Well, he certainly has a firm grasp of the blatantly obvious..

Obama could nominate Robert Bork and the Republicans would fight over it.

3. just pick a right winger nominee instead of a slightly liberal nt

4. Wow, Emanuel can do ROCKET SCIENCE!!!!

:rofl:

5. Wow, Rahm is really going out on a limb with that prediction

I didn't realize that the republicans were going to battle over every little thing that comes out from this administration.

6. Brialliant assesment!

Easy to see why he's Chief of Staff. He's so politically astute that it's just mind boggling.

7. hmph

Is this little 'prediction' a signal of some kind? Is Rahm indicating it will be a really tough fight in advance so that he can justify concessions by putting in a weak moderate justice on the bench.

8. Bingo!

I received the same impression. Dammit, often times I hate being proven correct given these bleak predictions.

Here's to hoping that Obama defiess our assessment and nominates a flaming liberal? :thumbsup:

Well, we can dream! :P
