Well, I'm not 100% sure that Edith Clement will be Bush's nominee. At about this hour of the day 8 months ago, many on FR were bemoaning exit polling that seemed to portend a landslide win for John Kerry. With all due respect to FReepers and those "people in the know," I'll await the President's 9 o'clock announcement.
Who knows who it's going to be? I think this is a mad attempt to get conservatives to oppose Bush. BTW, I will be very upset if he appoints Arlen Specter or somebody of that ilk, but otherwise, I'll wait and see. He's given a number of hints that it may not be a sitting jurist, so we shall see.
