(excerpt)
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama says he's not convinced Roberts is the best man for the job and questions the politicking involved in his selection.

"I ultimately have to give more weight to his deeds and the overarching political philosophy that he has appeared to have shared with those in power than to the reassuring words he provided me in our meeting," Obama said.

Obama told the chamber Thursday that he finds Roberts "humble" and "decent." But he says the judge appears to have used his skills on the bench for the strong "in opposition to the weak."

Sen. Dick Durbin says he too will vote against Roberts next week.
