Media says Alito is headed to confirmation

The media says Alito is a shoo-in. So, is it the Democrats' fault for not doing a good enough job of presenting the case against Alito, or is there simply not enough info to bring Alito down?

I have to say, I'm not convinced the Dems did a good enough job. I felt from the beginning that they should have made this nomination all about Justice O'Connor. The country is evenly divided, the court is 7-2 Republican to Democrat, and there is no way the country wants the Supreme Court to move further to the right. Alito is no O'Connor, and the Democrats had the burden to prove that. Did they? Evidently not.
