FOX reporter just said "Of course, this has been a HUGE (Hugh) surprise..." Duh. Just another proof that the media is always asleep. Who didn't think this was possible and wasn't anticipating it?
I don't believe this is a surprize. I remember when the Bush/Gore election results were initially reported that Gore had won, O'Connor was quoted as saying "Damn, I wanted to retire, now I can't retire." She has been on record that she wanted to retire for 5 years.
