Was just on a conference call with Senator Kennedy and a bunch of online magazine publishers. I think the key point to come out of it is that when it comes to the question of is Bush going to nominate a conservative extremist who would invite a confrontation or someone more like O'Connor who could be a consensus candidate, all signs point to extremist. He pointed out that conservative groups are poised to dump $18 million into this process, something which would be entirely unnecessary if a consensus candidate were in the pipeline.
