Pre-emptive political strike
The Republicans are already gearing to associate "Latio" with "racist" in order to try to sway the public away from an eminently qualified, and CENTRIST nominee. Just like they associated Iraq with 9/11, they're counting on an uneducated public believing an association if they hear it over and over enough. Gee, I can't imagine how this could backfire...
Before President Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor, the Republicans were already on the public speaking circuit, saying how they're going to oppose Obama's nominee, and work to obstruct it. That was BEFORE THEY EVEN KNEW WHO IT WOULD BE. At least they're consistent with their mission of opposing anything Obama does, and laboring to try to bring about failure.
Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove, both of whom dropped out of second-rate colleges, are claiming that Sotomayor, who graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton and was an editor of the Yale Law Review, doesn't have the intellect to serve on the Supreme Court.

Keep in mind, that Judge Sotomayor was appointed to the federal bench by the first Bush. Republicans thought very highly of her then, because The Party told them she was a good choice. Now that it's a Democrat that's nominating here, however, The Party says she's a bad choice, so the Republicans are dutifully opposing her.
