PACs usually keep up to date on every judge opinion out there somewhere, since they knew he was one of the finalists I'm sure they knew his record real fast.

Ah yes the press, they need to whip up everything as a battle between the parties because quite simply it sells papers and interest in their shows. Be pretty boring if they reported both sides were happy with the selection.

I think the press, from the local papers, to the networks to the talking radio heads on AM radio stations, is part of the partisan warfare problem we have. they feed into it, either intentionally to sell and profit from it or unitentionally by the puppet masters who want control.

I think there are a lot of issues out there that both parties could find middle ground on and work out compromises that would benefit the nation.... instead they use the press to raise cockles and talk about how their views are the only way and that there is no compromise. But that sells papers, raises interest (or deters interest), and makes a lot of money for people.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
