"Landrieu's re-election campaign has rested squarely on the question of whether she has enough clout as the committee's current chairwoman to pump new blood into Louisiana's sprawling energy infrastructure – including the 16 oil refineries operating there."

She certainly DIDN'T have enough clout to do anything when she was chairwoman in the majority party. What makes anyone think she will have even more clout as a simple member of a minority party?

Landriue is DONE!!
If for no other reason than electing Bill Cassidy means Louisiana oil/energy interests (plus the Louisianians employed by them)will be plugged into the new Republican dominated Senate.

In the new Senate it is better to have a Republican representing you than a do-nothing Dem like Landrieu
