Last Call

Here's how the Kagan nomination to SCOTUS plays out:

1. Everyone says what a genius Obama is except for a few folks who have honest questions about her.
2. Since it's liberals who are asking those questions, conservatives will then defend Kagan to attack liberals.
We're on 2 right now.  The rest goes like this:
3. Since it's liberals who will be under attack, the Village will pile on and declare that liberals hate bipartisanship centrist choices.
4. Republicans will then bring up the same concerns liberals have about Kagan and attack her, saying it's bipartisan opposition.
5. The Village will wonder if Kagan should withdraw (It would be irresponsible not to speculate...)
6. Everyone on the D side will rally around her anyway after liberals have been beaten on enough and it becomes clear she's going to be confirmed anyway.
7. Liberals will then be blamed for "almost blowing another one for Obama."
8. The meme that Democratic Presidents can never appoint liberals to anything continues. 

Count on it.
