JUST IN CASE you don't like Mitt Romney:

[For those] who may ... hesitate [to support Romney], keep four things in mind:

1. Justice Scalia just turned 76.
2. Justice Kennedy will be 76 later this month.
3. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August.
4. Justice Ginsburg turned 80 last March.

Whomever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come. If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, you're not of this world.

So for any you who may be thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated -- or writing in a candidate who can't win -- just imagine this possibility: 'Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder'.
