The contempt vote Thursday against Attorney General Eric Holder could
spell trouble for President Obama -- not just for his administration's
efforts to lock down Fast and Furious documents, but also for his
re-election campaign.
Holder over the past three-and-a-half years has become, according to
one polling outfit, the most unpopular member of Obama's Cabinet. The
attorney general is associated with a string of controversial decisions
-- from his response to the Fast and Furious probe to his department's
suits against state immigration laws to the campaign to halt GOP-led
voter ID laws in Florida and elsewhere -- that have riled conservatives,
even some Democrats.
The contempt vote, for his critics, is one more notch against Holder.
And it could fuel his becoming a divisive figure during the
presidential campaign as opponents try to cast him as an albatross
around Obama's neck.
