Too bad. As on most things, I don't keep tabs, I know Posner mainly as a Chicago school type, hardcore on economics but otherwise somewhat libertarian. Aside from age, Wikipedia gives an obvious reason he'd never have gotten any consideration from W as a nominee:

He has written several opinions sympathetic to abortion rights, including a decision holding "partial-birth abortion" constitutionally protected in some circumstances.

Oops on that.
