Can anyone tell us why Ted Olsen is not on any list? Some of us think he might be the perfect fit, especially now. Niether the right nor the left dare challenge him. Did he go over the edge after Barbara died? Does he simply not want the job?
I posted about him earlier in the thread--they say his age is a big factor.
I did hear someone say on the tube the other day that he might not want the job. Other possible reasons are his age, the fact that he was barely confirmed as solicitor general, and the never-ending claims that he was involved in the effort to dig up dirt on Clinton (the so-called Arkansas Project). Some Dems just won't accept his denial.
Dan Abrams gave a compelling argument in favor of Olson the other night on his show.
