John McCain is "favorably disposed" toward SCOTUS nominee Judge Samuel Alito, as he just told Alan Colmes on Fox. Not a surprise, as opposition toward Alito by McCain would irrevocably kill any chance he has of getting the 2008 nomination. McCain's support of Alito throughout the nomination process would significantly assist him in repairing the damage he brought upon himself by engineering the Gang of 14 compromise on judicial filibusters last spring.
