Jan Crawford Greenburg reports that a leading Supreme Court candidate, Judge Diane Wood, is in Washington today:

Sources tell me Obama has not decided whom he will choose. But of the three, Wood comes closest to meeting the criteria he has laid out in a justice. She could be his home run pick: She brings the intellectual heft and collegiality that would command respect on the Supreme Court, along with the life experiences that Obama has indicated he wants in his nominee. What's more, Obama knows her. They both taught at the University of Chicago Law School.

Edward Whelan has begun to review Wood's record here, here, here, and here.
