Obama didn't "think" of his nominee first. It wasn't a race. Obama was president and had 11 months left in his presidency. The Republicans refused to even hold a hearing on his nominee until after the election.

Is a liberal judge better than a conservative judge? That could be left open to discussion, but the "right" thing to do would have been to hold hearings and vote on the nominee instead of playing politics.
