Yesterday, a few threads were discussing whether any Democrats would be voting Yes on Alito (particularly the Gang of 14).

Meetings Set-up with Democratic Senators from Red States
The Administration quickly turned to moderate Democrats who could be crucial to the confirmation as the two sides brace for a polarizing fight over Judge Alito's legal views
The White House hurried Judge Alito into a get-acquainted session with Senator Tim Johnson, a Democrat who represents the solidly Republican state of South Dakota, even before the judge met with senior Democrats on the Judiciary Committee
On Wednesday, the judge is scheduled to meet with Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a moderate Democrat who helped engineer a Senate pact to break a stalemate this year over judicial nominations
On Thursday Alito meets with Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas, another moderate Democrat who is part of the "Gang of 14"
