    Senate Vote Was NOT Cloture Vote!!!

    The vote that just took place on the floor of the Senate floor was to continue debate. Reid is trying to cut deals with Republcans to get it to pass cloture which will take place this afternoon at about 5 EST, I'm hearing.

    June 07, 2007
    The tenuous bipartisan coalition hoping to push an immigration compromise through the Senate was strained Thursday when the bill came up for cloture.
