Did Roberts Pave the Path for Estrada?

There is more speculation (here and here) of an Estrada pick. If the President is happy with the factors that led to a successful Roberts nomination, Estrada can provide through his benign but Roberts-eque work experience and charming style a strikingly similar scenario with some added bonuses that were mentioned in this post. Roberts fortuitously cleared away Daschle's excuse to filibuster Estrada about the lack of White House cooperation in releasing sensitive and privileged documents.
Whether Estrada is the best pick has been hotly debated in the comments of numerous posts on confirmthem (including here, here, here, and here).
Nonetheless, Roberts has certainly shown one reproduceable path to a successful confirmation that Estrada is in a unique position to mirror.
