I think this paragraph pretty much explains why Bush has nominated Roberts to be the new Chief Justice.
Quote:
Getting a new chief justice of Bush's choosing in place quickly also avoids the scenario of having liberal Justice John Paul Stevens making the decisions about whom to assign cases to and making other decisions that could influence court deliberations. As the court's senior justice, Stevens would take over Rehnquist's administrative duties until a new chief is confirmed.

It's all about politics. "W" may act a little slow but he fights to win.
