I note that the Nigerian Cardinal Arinze, who was much hoped for amongst conservative Catholics back in '05 (i don't think most foresaw Ratzinger at the time) is not mentioned amongst the papabile this time around. Too old? (he is 80).
I don't think they will go with an American, for various reasons. Something interesting I read today is that Cardinal Schoenborn (Austrian) is a dark horse favorite for both conservatives and liberals, for differing reasons. :crazy:
