Party Of Death?

Orrin Judd calls the Dems the Party of Death, as the Dems reject Priscilla Owen largely on the basis of a single case rather than questions of character (not an issue) or judicial temperament (the ABA thought she was sound).

I wonder how the coverage would have been if the roles were reversed, and a Democratic nominee were defeated by Republicans largely because of a single issue in a single case, with no other significant questions being raised by the nominee. Isn't it likely we would see hints that the GOP was dominated by extremists (namely, those evil Christian conservative types)?
