Tuesday was a bad day for Mary Landrieu. Her chief excuse as to why Louisiana voters should not send her packing has been that by virtue of her chairmanship of the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee she could better bring jobs and economic growth to the Pelican State. To demonstrate that she was indeed a person of consequence she managed to convince Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to allow her to bring her Keystone pipeline bill to the floor.
Her opponent, Congressman Bill Cassidy, introduced the same legislation in the House were it passed by a vote of 252 to 161. Tuesday Landrieu's measure came up 1 vote short in the Senate.
Tuesday the Gravis Poll released the results of its November 17 poll showing the corpulent senator trailing Cassidy by 21 points, 38 to 59 percent. Have a good day, Senator.
