Bush to Announce Nominee Tonight?

Drudge is reporting that President Bush will announce his Supreme Court nominee at 9:00 pm, eastern time, tonight. I haven’t seen this anywhere else yet, but have no reason to doubt that it’s right. Reuters reports that Judge Clement has the support of Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu from her home state of Louisiana, and Clement is rumored to be in Washington.
