Vote for cloture passes

The Senate's vote for cloture on the unemployment extension passed last night, 87 - 13.

That, of course, doesn't mean that the deal is "done," however. For a good analysis of what will transpire next, this is an excellent piece that explains the latest:


Net-net, it looks like the Senate version won't be passed until early next week, and then it goes back to the House for their approval.

FYI, both Florida U.S. Senators voted "yea" (i.e. in favor of) on the motion for cloture.

The 13 Senators who voted against cloture were:

Barrasso (R-WY)
Bond (R-MO)
Bunning (R-KY)
Coburn (R-OK)
Cornyn (R-TX)
DeMint (R-SC)
Enzi (R-WY)
Graham (R-SC)
Hatch (R-UT)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Johanns (R-NE)
Sessions (R-AL)
Vitter (R-LA)
