Poll question: Predict President Obama's SCOTUS Nominee

From among the conventional set of short-listers, and an "other" category, who do you predict President Obama will select and when do you predict he will announce this nominee?

Sotomayor on Wednesday.

[MoonRiver]

and do not choose to guess.

3. Lisa Madigan

[StevieM]

4. Either Jen Granholm or Teresa Wynn Roseborough (eom)

6. Kim McLane Wardlaw

Her mother was a Mexican immigrant, she's a mother, down-to-earth, etc.

10. Yup... or Leah Ward Sears. (I hope.)

:shrug:

[sandnsea]

12. Maybe next time

I think it'll be a Latina this time. She (Sears) is a very distinguished and accomplished person. She would certainly be an excellent pick.

[sandnsea]

17. Well we were both wrong, hehe

I thought Sotamayer would be too controversial, but she's a good pick, don't you think?

[Blasphemer]

15. That's who I think it'll be also... nt

[Raine1967]

8. I am going with Wood.

Probably on Wednesday. The pundits are saying Tuesday, but I like my chess playing president. ;)

[Tektonik]

9. I want Kagan; it will be Sotomayor.

[Thrill]

11. Probably someone no one is talking about

.

[ShadowLiberal]

13. I hope Kagan, but I think it'll be Wood

I've read that Obama/his staff was very impressed with Wood during his interview with her.

I really hope that whoever it is they'll be 50 or under so they can serve a while on the court.

14. Bozo the Clown.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to present the man I'm naming as my nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States: Bozo the Clown. Bozo, if you'd like to say a few words?"

*Bozo steps up to the podium, turns to Obama, smashes a cream pie in his face, sprays him down with seltzer, honks his nose and waddles off laughing*

16. The NYT reports the list has been narrowed to four.

The president has narrowed his list to four, according to people close to the White House — two federal appeals judges, Sonia Sotomayor of New York and Diane P. Wood of Chicago, and two members of his administration, Solicitor General Elena Kagan and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
