They didn't pick Obama? There will be some disappointment.
Keep praying for this outcome!
Dang. He’ll be missed greatly here in Milwaukee.
This Bishop will shake things up but it will be diffucult! The NYT’s will be whining all the Time!
He’ll definitely be an improvement over Cardinal Egan, but it would have seemed just if Bishop Mansell, a native, and Cardinal O’Connor’s pick were to have become archbishop.
Huh??? Which "other American prelates"? None spring to mind . . .
I’d rather see Abp. Chaput in New York. Well, really, I wanted to see him in Washington, D.C., but New York would be good, too.
If Abp. Burke wasn’t at the Apostolic Signatura, he’d be my first choice.

"Dolan's nickname is DARF - the sound he makes when he chuckles, which he does a lot .... He's the typical NACer graduate Bishop: a back-slapping, glad-handing politician."
Sounds as if he'll be as effective communicating with Obama as George What's-His-Name out in San Fran has been in his legendary "dialogue" with Pelosi.

Was this the happy and sad announcement you had hinted at?
He will be a serious upgrade and he’s now gotten a taste of what it’s like to clean out a rats’ nest. I pray he will have the fortitude to shepherd NYC during the era of the Obamanation.
I’ll always be thankful to God for Egan’s spot on response to the Pelosi abortion comments episode. It was Spirit filled.
I hope Dolan will be just as forceful
