I think the Republicans will do themselves a huge service by distancing from Limbaugh's fluffy accusations. Don't get me wrong, I think SC nominees should be put through the gauntlet, but there's NO UPSIDE in pulling out the race card on this one. None. Besides that, her court decisions fly in the face of everything Limbaugh and Gingrich are accusing her of.
It was an unfortunate comment on her part, but I think she was just propping up her background, as many public officials will do.
I look forward to the confirmation hearings, and I think she'll do fine.
