My bet is that it'll be somebody that most people have never heard of...
Somebody who is NOT on the Top Twenty List...
They don't have to pick a cardinal or even a bishop, you know...
Theoreticly, they can pick ANY male Catholic, doesn't even have to be a priest, could be a layman. (But they ARE required to make him a Bishop as soon as he's elected Pope.)
I certainly don't think they'll go to that extreme, but for sake of discussion, I'm just pointing out how wide open the possibilities are.
