Lincoln Chaffee (R-RI) - Against Filibuster - Noncommital on the nominee.
Chafee has long signaled his worry that a filibuster against Alito would gridlock the Senate. Hourahan reaffirmed Thursday that the senator would join fellow Republicans in voting to shut off debate.

I think Chaffee will vote for Alito if he HAS to, same with Snowe. If they can get away with a no vote, they'll do it.
