Thirty-one Democrats voted in favor of the pipeline, but most who follow politics are most interested to see just how hard Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, who faces a Dec. 6 runoff election, fights for the bill when it moves to the Senate on Tuesday.

Landrieu told the New York Times by phone that “she was confident that she would have the 60 votes needed for a bill to pass the Senate” and insisted that she “would not give up until the Keystone pipeline is built.”
