Will it or won't it pass? Stay tuned..

[SaxxonWoods]

OK, I’m late to the party. The exact outcome of Senate votes is usually known ahead of time.

Why would the Fake Indian be surprised? Why bring her in to be the public face of it passing? Her base hates it and I assume she is against it.

[mware]

Nope needs a super majority to pass (60). To over ride a veto they would need 67 votes.

[gasport]

How many Dems who will still be around in Jan voted for it?

[Jane Long]

Mary’s machination misses mark, miserably.

[newnhdad]

they knew she wasn’t going to win so why vote for something that could be interpreted as pro-American, pro-business, pro-prosperity, pro-jobs when it won’t appeal to the American hating base of the democrats? why give the repubs the victory when Obama is sure to veto it and then he’ll look bad.

[Repeal 16-17]

Prediction is it will miss passage by one vote.

Nailed it.

In January, it will pass. Then the ball will be in the Liberal Messiah's court.

[cripplecreek]

January should be very interesting.

[Political Junkie Too]

This is the cloture vote. That's why she needs 60 votes.

[newnhdad]

look for some sort of e-order regarding some sort of endangered species or land usage rights that will make this more difficult.

[txhurl]

No, I meant she was surprised by the hecklers. Does anybody have any good info on the hecklers? Literally sounded like cheerleaders - literal high-school ones.

[JRandomFreeper]

Ah... Once again, no real vote.

She'll have to explain why she voted for Cassidy's bill.

The LIV’s think that keystone is something they put in their car radiator.

[Jane Long]

I would love to see Sen Ted Cruz take on Fauxcahontas in a debate. THAT would be glorious!

[oblomov]

They knew the Dems wouldn’t supply enough votes for cloture. The GOP gets to vote consistently for Keystone XL, and the Dems get to tell their base that they tried to stop it.

[VRWCarea51]

They are Fauxahontas’s relatives she invited to the Senate to help celebrate her great victory over the Evil Pale Faces.

[bk1000]

“59-41.
Do they really think we are that stupid. “

Yes, they do.

[JRandomFreeper]

Then it wasn't a real vote, was it? Obviously a cloture vote.

“He has to veto it, otherwise he shot it down for 6 years then concedes to the mandate of the midterm election? No way.”

Anther president would in respect for Democracy, but Obama doesn’t care about anything but himself, specifically his own ideological agenda. Obama doesn’t really even care about the Democratic party.
