AGAIN, since the senate confirms the nominees, and 30% of the current senate seats are up for re-election this November, if you're really concerned about who gets in the supreme court over the next 4 years, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LOCAL SENATORS AND VOTE FOR/AGAINST THEM 11/2!!

AGAIN?
The nomination of Supreme Court justices come from the Executive branch. The Senate is not in a position to confirm what is not offered.
I do not want a situation where the Executive branch gets proactive in deal making with Senators to get Mr Conservative Candidate confirmed. This has always been the case in Washington and you can expect that if Bush wins, he will be cutting deals and doling out the Pork to get his nominations confirmed even if the Senate moves to a much stronger Democrat position.
