Well, apparently Salazar is among the top likely choices should a Democrat win the White House next year.  Given his service as State Attorney General and his moderate stances and independent streak he would seem to be a quality pick. 

Tom Goldstein, who heads the Supreme Court practice at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, came up with a list of 30 likely Democratic nominees on the popular SCOTUS blog, then narrowed it down to the four likeliest choices for a first appointment — Judges Johnnie Rawlinson and Kim McLane Wardlaw of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; Sonia Sotomayor of the 2nd Circuit; and Leah Ward Sears of the Georgia Supreme Court. His five predictions for a second or third seat under a Democrat: Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar, Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan and Judge Merrick Garland of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District.
