We think Sen. Landrieu’s probably busy with other things in the Senate chambers at the moment, but reading about the 59-41 failure to pass the Keystone XL pipeline legislation in tomorrow morning’s papers is going to be rough.
Headlines in Louisiana are going to be brutal for Landrieu. Question now is: Why did Dem leaders allow the vote to happen?

Democrats just set fire to Mary Landrieu's last hope. It's as if they have no loyalty after she let them buy her off on the Obamacare vote.

Appears Mary Landrieu has lost her Keystone vote. CSPAN now showing video of Democratic Senators feasting on Landrieu's entrails.

But yeah, Landrieu might want to stay off of Twitter for a while.
It's dead, Jim.

Somewhere, Rep. Cassidy (R-La.) is smiling.

Cassidy statement: "Landrieu’s failure to pass" the bill "is a perfect snapshot of her time as Chair of the Energy Committee – a failure"

… After the vote, Landrieu went to TK bar, where she ordered TK shots. She and staff reminisced about TK…

There's something about Mary. And that thing is everyone thinks she's toast.

Too phallic. RT @jimantle: One Democrat who pointedly did not vote for Keystone: Mark Udall.

Dems are in organizational free fall. NEVER should've taken vote. Why go through the pain & draw so much attention to issue while losing?

Keystone will be up for another vote early in the new Congress. Too bad @MaryLandrieu won't be there to approve. #ElectionsHaveConsequences

Voting down #KeystoneXL was @SenatorReid's kick out the door to @SenLandrieu and final middle finger to the midterm voters.

Tom Steyer's political failure has an impressive half life. It just took down another Democratic senator.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) November 18, 2014
Mary Landrieu should just go ripshit postal in the inevitable presser. No "disappointed" waffling. 1/
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) November 18, 2014
2/ She should roll out, "Fuck Tom Steyer. Fuck Harry Reid. And fuck Barbara Boxer sideways. KEYSTONE FOREVER, bitches!" Mic drop.
