Mike Crapo for Supreme Court

I don't get it. Why is Harry Reid pushing Sen. Crapo for an appointment to the Supreme Court? I've been thinking about this for a couple of days now and i still don't get it. All my thoughts are fairly well repersented here.

The only answer I can come up with is that Harry Reid is more pro-life than the average Democrat so he probably wants to move his part toward the centre on this issue.

Unless there is an angle I'm missing here, I think the President ought to seriously think about the Crapo choice. Afterall, easy confirmation of an actual conservative is not so crappy.
