Tom Goldstein, who saw the John Roberts nomination coming long before anyone else, notes that Jan Crawford Greenburg (who appears to have had the best reporting in the days and weeks leading up to that pick) is saying that the White House is focused on Judges Luttig and Alito. Partially on the basis of that news, Goldstein is predicting that Sandra Day O'Connor's replacement on the Court will be Judge Alito.
That nomination would make more sense to me than probably any other one at this point. Though I wonder if Judge Consuelo Callahan has fallen entirely off the radar screen at the White House.

And have I mentioned lately my screaming crush on Jan? Did anyone catch her recently-aired interview with Justice Breyer. She looked awful, and it still worked for me.
