Ed Kilgore Plays The Bummer

++Kilgore writing in New York magazine says Obama's choice of a white male, moderate is a perfect sacrificial lamb. The scenario of a lamb duck appointment to forestall a Hillary nominee is not in the cards. All this does is show how extreme the Republicans are and that should be useful for the general elections.

++Kilgore also puts a damper on the contested convention. He says Trump and Cruz already have enough delegates to block the establishment from riding roughshod over the delegates. He also points to the anti-Ron Paul role that the Trump-Cruz gang can invoke to prevent a dark horse from being nominated from the floor. Kilgore says the establishment has only one option--playing Trump off against Cruz.

++Wonkette posted a blog about Obama's Supreme Court choice. They thought the real question was how much did Merrick hate "buttsex."
