The Washington Post reports that Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean is railing against the not-yet-nominated nominee.

Dean said a straight party-line vote would show Democratic unity but would not be sufficient to block a nominee. "That's not a fight to the death," he said. "A fight to the death is a filibuster, which is the only way we can reject an unqualified nominee -- because the Republicans don't seem to have any qualms about putting unqualified people in all manner of positions all over the government."

....

"If we lose, better to go down fighting and standing for what we believe in, because we will not win an election if the public doesn't think we'll stand up for what we believe in."

That's right, stand up and refuse to vote for what you believe in. Sure, that'll work. Don't try to legitimately persuade GOP Senators or the American people. Just stonewall. Yeah, that's the ticket. This guy is qualified?
