Pencil in Sotomayor
A brief USA Today story gives us both candidates' likely top five lists.
Under the assumption that Obama wins, I say look at Sonia Sotomayor. I'm not using the word "quota," but she is a Hispanic, and coming from the federal appellate bench, would be a logical step-up.
I can't see Sunstein. First, I'm not sure he would want it; second, I'm not sure Obama wants to take that type of risk. Maybe a one-year sabbatical from the University of Chicago as a White House counsel.
Deval Patrick? No, he has a more political focus. Might well be Obama's AG choice, instead.
Koh and Kagan? No, choosing academics doesn't seem like it would be Obama's style.
