Is this the real vote?

Peach, this afternoon they vote on cloture. Cloture is the cutting off of debate in preparation for moving to "the real vote". However, cloture votes are good indicators of what is to come. (Not the numbers, but that the nomination will pass.) In some ways, they ARE "the real vote". In that if you get past cloture, it's a downhill run from then on.

But no, the confirmation vote is tomorrow at 11:00 am ET.
