"JRB's nomination would be the equivalent to Reagan's "Mr Gorbachov, tear down this wall". Unfortunately, "W" does not have Reagan's sense of history and timing. (sigh)"

This really is the question of the moment. Will GWB break from the east coast establishment he is surrounded by and nominate a maverick such as JRB, or will he stick with an establishment type like he did with Roberts? I think he heard his base, but we will soon see.
