...none at all. Supporters and former clerks affectionately describe Alito as nerdy?more academic but also less polished than John Roberts, who addressed the committee without notes on his way to confirmation in September as Chief Justice. Yet Administration officials say they are certain that Alito will attract fewer votes???in the committee and later in the Senate?than did Roberts, whose golden r�sum� and limited paper trail thwarted Democrats' putative attack plans.

Connally, an undisputed expert at counting votes???and still a Democrat?offers this assessment: "At this stage there are no political shortcomings in the program that would justify a frontal attack. The critics are going to have to await any flaws." Adds Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield: "I think we should give the President every support...
