Republicans anxious to see Obama's pick

Many Republicans are stressing that Obama will pick a liberal, pro abortion candidate for the supreme court seast recently announced by Supreme Court Justice Souter who will step down in June of this year. Sen. Lindsay Graham, a South Carolina Republican who also serves on the Judiciary Committee, said the White House must be careful picking a replacement for Justice Souter. Sen. Graham expects a "left-leaning pick," given that Mr. Obama will be replacing Justice Souter, but said a liberal ideologue would not only inflame Republicans but likely create problems with "red-state" Democrats. I am optimistic that Obama will choose a person who both parties have some sort of confidence in. With many other factors surrounding Obama in his early days as President, another upsetting issue like picking a candidate that cause a stir and uproar between the two parties, will lower his political approval rating.
