It was Harry Reid who sat him down and said: "Look kid, THIS is the way we do things here"
Reid is the worst of the worst of Washington career bureaucrat scum. And that means he knows every little political trick.
As I said...Pres. Obama will NEVER pick a Republican Gov. to be Supreme Court Justice. Why would he?
He wants...no NEEDS to get a Justice in there who passes the abortion "litmus test".
This is a smart political move by him (orchestrated with Reid) to fuck with the Republicans.
In case you didn't know it (because you don't live here)...Reid HATES Sandoval.
Sandoval defeated Reid's son Rory in the gubernatorial election to become governor in the first place.
And you better believe in the next governors race, Sandoval's opponents will be running attack ads that depict him as an Obama crony because of this.
It's a win/win for Reid.

First, Sandoval is pro-choice.
Second, I do live here and have never heard that Reid HATES Sandoval. They seem to work together often for the benefit of the state (immigration reform, Tesla's factory, clean energy and Yucca Mountain all come to mind). Reid even recommended him to Bush for a seat on a federal district court. It was also a clever way of removing him from possibly running against him for the Senate but still an endorsement.
Third, It wasn't just Reid that recommended Sandoval to the White House. It was also the other Republican Senator Dean Heller.
But carry on.....
