Someone said on here earlier in this thread and now I cannot find it that Sen Frist said he would request a vote on Tuesday but he was requesting votes on other candidates today and Tuesday. I just finished reading Senator Frist comments in the Congressional Record for Wednesday and Thursday and he did not mention a cloture vote. He asked for unanimous consent to vote and then named some days but no mention of cloture!

If he submits a motion to invoke cloture, it will have to be tomorrow if there is a vote scheduled for Thursday. I have been all over the Senate website and I cannot find any reference to the vote.

I am less than impressed by Garret BTW since he already said in his article that they had an historic vote on Wednesday night and it went bad for Republicans. He didn't know the difference between cloture and quorum call.

I will keep looking to see if the schedule for tomorrow is out yet. Normally at the end of the day's business, they give the schedule for the next day.

I'm glad you found the transcript and was able to read it and didn't find a reference to a Tuesday/cloture thing. I was almost sure I heard him mention something about Tues/cloture when he was wrapping up the other night. He was talking about the dems still objecting, etc. and that no other votes would be taken that night. He mentioned something about Tuesday. I'd looked for the transcript over the weekend but it wasn't posted yet. Glad you found it.
