Republicans and Alito

It is obvious that the democrats will not filibuster Alito. So, the question is are there any republicans that will vote against him? One would expect the known pro-choice republicans below to vote against him. Will they? It does not appear that Specter will do so. And McCain...forget it. He wants to be a republican president. How about the rest?

Lincoln Chaffee (Rhode Island)
Olympia Snowe (Maine)
Suzan Collins (Maine)
John McCain (Arizona)
Arlen Specter (Pennsylvania)

The ones that are in blue states (Rhode Island, Maine) will have hard time explaining that when they are up for re-election. I hope that these people vote against Alito. If not, I hope that they will not be re-elected.
