The thing that worried me earlier, prompted me to ask the question, and worries me anew with the reported distress of Feinstein and Rockefeller is getting Obama's appointments through the Senate confirmation process. Particularly, perhaps, if those appointments look good to Obama's "base."
I have little doubt that what looks good to me, will in no way look good to Feinstein and Rockefeller. And, I can't help but wonder how threatened some of our Senators might feel if they thought an appointment of Obama's might reveal something those fairly powerful Senators preferred remain hidden.
It ought to be hard for me to imagine that Democratic Senators would oppose Obama's appointment choices, but it's not.
