The N.Y. Times, today, comes out with their profile of Judge Alito.

In short, it’s a love letter. At the end, you half expect them to invite him in to meet the parents, ask the guy if there’s any brothers left at home for their friend Maureen. The portrait is that of a man who’s brilliant, measured, thoughtful and, most of all, nice.

It’s that last one that’s probably making the left’s strategists grind their teeth the hardest. You can spin a lot of stuff to the Oprah crowd, but ‘nice?’ They sniff out nice pretty damn good and once they do… well, at that point it’s, “Why are they saying mean things about that nice man?�

Sure it’s early, and sure, we can expect harsher 'analysis' pieces down the line. But so far it looks good. Real good.

No arrogance. No goatees. We’ve got the nominee we want. We’re equipped for the fight. Let’s do this thing.
