Planned Parenthood opposes the nomination and Family Research Council is supportive, only helping the news media narrative of a battle royale, which we still believe will be relentlessly overstated by the media. Our guess: the country ain't in the mood for a big fight, and the left is too disorganized and divided to mount one effectively.
Sam Brownback is already heaping praise, as is Bill Kristol, so this nomination is already off to a better start than Miers.
