Nope. As I said, JRB is going to be confirmed, and she is a perfectly suited(in fact better than) replacement for Rhenquist, be it as CJ or not, And either of the two remaining, or an as of yet unseen third, will be a marked improvement over O'Connor.

I can already hear the whining about JBR or the others "the white house didn't consult us". I have no confidence we can get conservative justices to SCOTUS when we have 52 opponents.

52 > 48.
