President Barack Obama will wait until after Nov. 4 congressional elections to nominate a new U.S. attorney general, a White House official said on Tuesday. The decision to delay allows Obama more time to pick a replacement for Attorney General Eric Holder and means the new nominee will not get mired in election-year politics in the final weeks of the congressional election campaign. A delay in the announcement had been sought by some Senate Democrats who wanted to avoid a fresh controversy ahead of the elections. http://bit.ly/1vtYOqd http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
