Someone more clever than I must surely have solved this. How can I set through .bashrc or some other more secure way, the ability to alias "su" with its password so I don't have to type my root password every time I su.
I use ssh on localhost for such purposes. Just add your ssh key to root's .ssh/authorized_keys and then use 'ssh root@localhost' to either get a root shell or run commands (which may require X11 forwarding set for ssh).
