Is this a Gambit by Andy Stern?

Ok all you conspiracy nuts will love this one, apparently Andy Stern is resigning from being president of the SEIU international. But why? He has close ties to Obama and more visits to the White House than anyone, by far. I say Obama is going to nominate him to the Supreme Court. The One has already burned all of his political capital and he seems to have no desire to make things any better for his party's prospects come November. My prediction, it will be like the Harriet Myers nomination Bush had (I believe Alito ended up getting that seat) and Stern will leave with his tail between his legs just like Myers did. Then he will nominate Duvall Patrick, since he'll probably lose the governors race this fall in Mass. of all place, and he will probably win confirmation in a Clarance Thomasequse 52-48 or maybe even a 51-49 vote. Oh and Obama will have to buy votes again and the hearings will be GREAT. Free entertainment this summer. I pity the blue-dogs and center-left types in Congress (sort of), they are completely doomed.
