Do you think an Obama-Reid partnership would want a Kennedy-like jurist?

Certainly not, because any suggestion that he's moderate is ridiculous and certainly not supported by statistical measures. Kennedy votes with Alito more than he votes with any of the liberals. Furthermore, the next two justices to go are likely Stevens and Ginsburg, so appointing a moderate in their places would make the court tilt to the right even more than it does now.
