A small explosion

Jessica McBride "reports":

"The MSM are now exploding - very belatedly - with stories about a potential Diane Sykes' candidacy for SCOTUS."

So far, it's a pretty small explosion.

In a search of 20.2 million blogs on Technorati, Diane Sykes shows up 20 times in the last three days and three of them are from McBride. Make it 21: Eye on Wisconsin gets in.

As for the mainstream media (MSM if you're cool), there is one mention in the NY Times along with a host of other names, and an AP story which the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel picked up.

She may be in the running and even be nominated. But spare us the hype.
