My thoughts exactly. Conclaves can take a LONG time. Though, modern conclaves don't take months, or even years like the ones in the 12th-18th century. One took almost 3 years!
I hope they elect a cardinal that can connect with all Catholics, since most popes were European, but these days, most Catholics aren't. I also hope they find an energetic leader, a communicator like John Paul II (though I personally found him too conservative on women's and sexuality issues).
