Strangely, George W Bush nominated McConnell for the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals - even with McConnell opposing the Gore v Bush decisiion.
Another FReeper linked to a site with a rundown of possible nominees

According to this site:
"Given the other potential choices, McConnell is about as good as liberals or libertarians could expect to get as a nominee given the current configuration"
The press conference with Specter is being replayed on C-span!!!
Hopefully, c-span will show all of the pressers...I am also hoping they will show the speeches in the Senate today, about the nominee...
If they do, listen closely to Warner's speeches, both the presser and the floor speech in the Senate...
