This is a a very interesting article by Professor Tobias from Richmond Law School. Professor Tobias says that the General Assembly has "indicated that they will not commit in advance to supporting [Governor] Kaine's judicial choices," and he suggests that the Governor look to temporary appointments (drawn from law schools and the senior bar members) for the SCC opening, the unfilled Circuit court openings and the Supreme Court opening.
I have yet to see any speculation about the pending appointments and Governor Kaine's possible candidacy for Vice-President. (He is "very very high on the VP shortlist" as of this writing.) One would think that such political considerations could have an effect on how the Governor handles these appointments.
