Democrat money distancing itself from the Mary Landrieu oil slick. 

Senator Landrieu is in the fight of her life, her reelection campaign deeply immersed in thick sludge. She will vote for the Keystone XL pipeline legislation due to come up Monday.  In Cajun country, the good folks down there know a flipper when they see one. Towing the Obama line for six years without speaking out; an Obama lackey who did what she was told to do, is now telling folks back home that the Keystone XL matters to our energy independence and is a job creator. This is to appease the oil industry folks in Louisiana. But let us be the first to tell you, Cajuns aren’t about to swallow this non-sequitur.

Her opponent Bill Cassidy has waged a vigorous campaign on the issues most important to the citizens of Louisiana; come December 6 , with our help, we will make him the victor over the mud bug  Mary Landrieu. Keep in mind that she did Obama’s bidding for the past six years. Louisiana is much better off without her.

The talking heads estimate that the sixty votes are there for passage. It really doesn’t matter because Obama will veto it.  This again is ample evidence of the powerless Democrats who have no sway over what Obama does; they are staging this meaningless vote at Landrieu’s insistence. The legislation has re-emerged after Democratic Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu began championing it, in a bid to not only help the energy industry but also her struggling runoff Senate bid. In response, Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy, who is running against Landrieu in the runoff, sponsored the House bill that was approved on Friday.
