Would Obama Prefer to Basically Forfeit 2010?

If Obama gets to make an appointment for one of the conservative seats on the Supreme Court while Republicans control the Senate, it will be the  fight of a lifetime.  They may even go so far as to give the President a list of approved names to pick from.

Unlikely. I bet Obama loses his spine once the GOP is in control. He's that type of person.

Or he could go for the very most liberal judge he can find in order to rally the base, knowing that he/she would be extremely unlikely to get confirmed.  Maybe someone who has written publicly about finding a constitutional right to health care coverage? 

The base will be quicksand by 2012 unless something amazing happens. Hillary will probably end up primarying him anyhow.

Are you willing to bet everything that the economy won't come roaring back by 2012?  If it did, people would not only credit Obama personally, but also his policies for getting us out of the worst recession in 60 years. 

Yes, it won't come back nearly as much as 4 years ago. Secondly, we are in a depression not a recession.
