Good morning, all.

Join us today for the final victory lap, the vote to "confirm Samuel Alito, of New Jersey, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court."

It's all over except the final vote tally.

Lots of surprises yesterday at the HUGE vote to impose cloture, so perhaps there are still some surprise votes to come?

For the mere sake of fending off the hatred from their base, I wonder if the (D)s want 60 affirmative votes?

It makes the cloture failure easier to take ... but focuses heat on certain individual DEM Senators.

Landrieu -NO. So the vote is likely to be 58-42. Glad I didn't bet on the 60 over.

Voting is going quickly. Likely done by quarter after.

Follow Fox; not only do they have the live tally (so do CNN and PMSNBC, while C-SPAM2 has only previously-declared votes), but they show who's voting.

She just lost re-election in Louisiana.

Landrieu NO!

She has a lot of crust asking for billions more for LA.
