Harriet Miers With Credentials

I haven't mentioned anything about Judge Samuel A. Alito here, but its interesting how much the Democrats are cozying up to him. I get the impression he's much like Harriet Miers, but with the credentials of a sitting Judge. This from the Washington Times:

Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr. is within the mainstream of conservative judicial philosophy and should be confirmed barring some unforeseen "bombshell," key Democrats said yesterday. "I found him to be very impressive. I found him to be a very thoughtful person," Sen. Kent Conrad, North Dakota Democrat, said after meeting with Judge Alito yesterday. "He got off to a very good start with me."
