Another Democrat For Alito?

From AP:
Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., also announced Friday he is "leaning in favor of voting for'' the conservative judge. "It is clear to me that a majority of the American people and the people I represent support his confirmation,'' he said after meeting with Alito in his office.
That doesn't seem to affect Bingaman of NM. I'd bet his input is strong for Alito but he is known for ignoring his constituents and yet he gets re-elected regularly.
