Although if I was Obama I would put a real progressive or someone like Holder in right now, and gamble that the Dems win, and his nominee eventually gets ratified two years later. That is the longer game and that is what I would do if I was him.

Being hated by Republicans doesn't make Holder a progressive. It just makes him black. Holder is no progressive. He's a Wall Street and bankster shill.
