Little Spending (So Far) on Roberts Nomination

According to this piece, the relatively low sums of money spent by special interest groups on both sides indicates that the Roberts nomination won't be much of a fight.

Maybe so, maybe not. Certainly it indicates that the conservative groups don't see the need to spend a lot of money if the liberal groups aren't.

But the liberal groups may only be waiting for the hearings to begin. It doesn't sound like the leftist interest groups intend to go down without a fight.
