I wouldn't be surprised if Nelson of Nebraska is the only Democrat vote for Alito. But he'll win anyway!

IMO the (D)s will make sure Alito gets 60 votes just so they will have a talking point for their base:

"Hey, were sorry moveOn.org, but there weren't enough votes for a filibuster, so moveOn.org...
... you need to moveOn.
