USATODAY.com - What we've learned (about Democrats) from the battle over Roberts: "In speech after speech, Democrats voting 'no' said he was qualified, decent, brilliant, capable, nice, but they just couldn't do it. You got the sense John Kerry wanted to take Roberts to a nice restaurant and give the nominee the 'it's not you, it's me' speech: Look, you're a great guy, and any country would be lucky to have you. I'm just not in a good place right now."
