Washington- Senate Judiciary Committee member Mike DeWine, who was mentioned by Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday as a potential Supreme Court pick, doesn't anticipate being nominated.
"I'm on the short list, just the wrong short list," he joked.
DeWine, an Ohio Republican, compared the intense public kibitzing over Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's successor to "watching the speculation for the next pope."
Because O'Connor was a swing vote in many cases, DeWine said, whoever fills her slot could shape the court for years to come. He said he plans to scrutinize case decisions and writings of whomever Bush selects for the slot before forming an opinion on the nominee's qualifications.
Ohio Republican Sen. George Voinovich said he'd like Bush to confer with Senate leaders on the nomination, and he expressed hope that the nominee will get a fair hearing in the Senate.
"Regardless of affiliation or ideology, we can all respect Justice O'Connor for truly living up to her oath of office," Voinovich said. "She has served with intelligence, open-mindedness, freedom from bias, and a commitment to equal justice under the law. Her presence on the Supreme Court will be truly missed."
Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich called on Bush to honor O'Connor's legacy by "appointing a moderate who values the principles of equality and fairness."

No Chance for this guy either.
Put another way, any time a liberal moron mentions a name that they like, cross them off the list. Period.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich called on Bush to honor O'Connor's legacy by "appointing a moderate. . . O'Connor was a flaming liberal, not a "moderate".
Kucinich is a flaming retard.

Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing for Ohio.
At least he wouldn't be our Senator any longer...

That's probably what he meant when he said, "just the wrong short list".

Dewine is more suited for the 'short bus' that guy is an embarassment to the Republican party. As an Ohio resident, I'm going to do my part to get that clown out of office next election.
