Chapter 41.2: Who’s Next?

Ok, now that Harriet Miers has withdrawn from consideration for the Supreme Court of the United States, is there reason to presume that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is next to be nominated? It would be a significant nomination, as he'd be the first Hispanic on the court if confirmed by the Senate. But I seem to recall conservatives saying they were concerned about some of his decisions when he sat on the Texas Supreme Court. To me, what the Miers nomination has accomplished is to expose the dichotomy within the Republican party for all: conservatives are different than your random Republican.
