Kathryn Jean Lopez has some predictions that are bound to come true.

A knowing Hill guy came up with this morning:

Reid will be "disappointed."

One (or more) dem Senator will say the pick will "roll back the clock" on (insert hot-button issue here).

If the nominee is not Hispanic, Sen. Salazar and lib Hispanic groups will complain that the President ignored their interests. If the nominee IS Hispanic, they'll oppose her.

Bush will be attacked for not "consulting" (read: letting dems pick the nom), thereby laying the predicate for their "no" vote.

The nominees positions will be "extreme."

Read the rest.
