Best chances for a No vote on Alito from the GOP?
Are Collins and Snowe going to be allowed by the citizens of Maine to vote for this guy? How about Rhode Islanders and Chafee?

1. Great questions; I keep looking to see how they voted, but
nothing yet. I know Chafee was on the fence, and Collins and Snowe don't always walk in lockstep with this regime.

3. You'd hope voters would make it crystal clear that a yes vote
will be very costly.

4. The Republicans wil force party unity
and be damned with the consequences back home, unless they are 100% sure they have it in the bag.

Or, to put it another way, if Collins Snow or Chafee vote against, it will mean that it's already a done deal.
