Will they protest?

Some observers think EADS may consider a protest of the $30B aerial fuel tanker contract recently awarded to Boeing.

Most however, disagree:
It seems like they would have a hard time doing so, actually. Having (painfully) gotten bidders on the same specs since the Boeing protest, surely the Air Force made the decision based on price -- if for no other reason than that it would be easy to defend.
