I don't know, however, I trust him to do the right thing.
If he is considering someone as far down the list as Hatch, then all I've got to say is "I am available."
I have a good feeling about his choice(s). Just a gut feeling at this point, but I don't think he's going to pass up the chance on tilting the court to the right for a good long time.

The third is the Wild Card. This would be a nominee such as former Senator Orin Hatch.

I wish Bush would nominate Mark Levin. If his radio show is any indication, one of his opinions for the majority would read something like this:
"Nowhere in the Constitution did our Founding Fathers express a proclivity for a 'right' to that for which you have deigned to petition this august body. Now get out of my court, you big dope!"
Yeah, he'd be great!
