UPDATE from radar: I'm not sure how to break this to the Democrats, but it appears that the original (and quite logical) notion of them endorsing Roberts in order to have more standing in which to oppose another conservative candidate has gone out the window. Had these lefties endoresed Roberts, they would have much more credit when they oppose the next nominee.

Now they've just shown their true colors - they'll oppose even the most qualified nominees if they have 1) shown even the smallest tidbit of conservative views in the past or 2)their big donors and political action groups tell them to.
