(CNN)President Barack Obama said Wednesday it would be "difficult" for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to explain his decision not to consider a Supreme Court nominee without looking like he's motivated by politics. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid suggested a Republican, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, as a potential nominee. A source confirmed to CNN that the White House is vetting Sandoval, although he has not been actively involved in the process. "Neither Governor Sandoval nor his staff have been contacted by or talked to the Obama Administration regarding any potential vetting for the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court," according to a statement from Mari St. Martin, his communications director.

If true, this is totally out if character for the community-organizer-in- chief (i.e. not nominating an outright Marxist) I wonder what gives?

I wonder what gives? " I don't know anything about the Gov mentioned. But, somehow, someway, it is a trick/trap that the Repubs will fall into.

Hints? Hints? Trump floated two names at the Republican debate two weeks ago ago. How is it that the MSM expects Trump to immediately name a replacement on live TV, but Obama is allowed to drag the process on and on and on?

If true, this is totally out if character for the community-organizer-in- chief (i.e. not nominating an outright Marxist) I wonder what gives? He is betting on the Party of Stupid to continue to be stupid. He and Reid know what dupes the REPs are. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
The Republican governor that Obongo wants is Chris Crisco. Wouldn't Reid just love to be kingmaker and help select the next Guv of Nevada ? I don't believe the Democrat caucus would unite behind Sandoval .
