Dems actually think this could help Mary Fatchick Landrieu?
It will lose by one vote and will show the people in Louisiana that Mary Fatchick Landrieu has no clout among the Democrats in the Senate. After all, if all the Republicans vote for it she only needs to persuade 14 Democrats to vote for it so she can claim to have cast the deciding vote. There are 55 Democrats in the Senate so not being able to convince 14 of the 54 other Democrats would say that she has a clout factor in her caucus of about 25%.
Yes they think the low information voters will be impressed that Landrieu is in favor of the pipeline. And will Vite for her in the runoff due to this. It all seems staged to me, but, what do I know of “optics”????
