Expect a Lot of Americans Soon in the College of Cardinals

In Light of the Law has a interesting post here at Musings on the next Consistory

...If the Consistory were held today, Benedict could name 13 new cardinal electors; if he waits till the end of August he could name 14, and if he goes into October he could appoint 17, maybe 18. That would be a sizeable class, and some significant reshaping could be accomplished by naming so many new cardinals at one time......


Let me add I think if Benedict lives long enough Atlanta will also get a Red Hat.
