That's round two. The first round will be a bloodbath where the GOP reluctantly withdraws the nomination bitching all along about Democrat history of obstructing judicial nominations. They've been building that one up for five years.

Then they'll nominate a Kennedy type that will get through no problem.

Then when Rehnquist retires, they'll bring forth a Thomas/Scalia/Attilla the Hun type that makes their first person seem like Gahndi, but everyone will be so battle scarred by that first fight that this guy will get through with token objection and only one person testifying that he ruined her life.

I doubt Bush will risk his legacy on a Kennedy. It will just be a less obviously offensive conservative. The one thing Bush has demonstrated is that he learned from his dad's mistakes. Now that W has rectified the Iraq fuckup and the cut taxes repeatedly (unlike Daddy) the last big fuckup out there is Souter. W will not risk a Souter.
