No, look at it this way. With a new senate, there will be a new vote. Bam bam will veto it anyway, but this way, the voters of Louisiana are being shown, that, on this issue anyway, Landrieu and Cassidy would vote the same way. If Keystone is your thing, there is no need to vote against Landrieu. To Reid, passing it was never the issue. Getting Landrieu on the record as voting for it was.
what does “pooch” mean
Because Reid KNOWS that the Senate and the House are now in Republicans hands and whatever Obama does will be blamed on Republicans by the MSM. He will say ‘they won’t act, so I will’ and then continue to destroy the country. Wake up, Republicans! Find a LOUDER VOICE!
Wrong.
As a fighting party, rather than an accomodationist party, the Democrats short-term goal is to make their base more discontented, more angry, more fanatical, to prepare them for the moment when the Crisis of Capitalism culminates and the Revolutionary Vanguard seizes power.
The outcome of elections determined by simple arithmetical counting of votes, especially in benighted swamps like Louisiana, concerns them not at all.
And, let's be honest. Is there anything about Republican victory that SHOULD give them any reason for concern?

Obama hates Keystone, they showed support for Obama.
He was protecting obama from having to veto it.
Belive you me there is zero bad blood between Mary Landrieu and Harry Reid. When porky pig Landrieu returns to the Senate as a mega lobbyist to schmooze Harry and da boys they will have a good laugh about the old days.
Harry Reid cut his loses and made a smart move for Democrats. Harry Reid is happy he now has time to relax now that he doesn’t have to run the Senate
Landrieu was going to lose her Senate seat regardless of this vote.
Obama made it clear he would veto the bill, so the vote was meaningless.
Louisianans know the vote will come up again next year, yet a newly reelected Landrieu might, as usual, side again with the Rats & vote against it, as well as vote against a host of other important issues such as the repeal of Obamacare.
All those people who voted for Cassidy & Maness wont change their conservative vote over one Senate bill.
Buh-bye Mary!
it's over...I no longer love Harry...he has betrayed me
Mary L. dealt with the Devil, and the Devil always betrays you are the most crucial moment.
We’re to assume this is the Keystone pipeline vote?
Was this not a vote for cloture on the bill? I believe Harry has to vote no so that it can be brought up again..??..
They should have a boxing match. Bill it as Miss Piggy vs Oscar the Grouch.
Come on....folks.....Obama/Reid setup the defeat of this bill and the defeat of Mary Landrieu long ago. It failed by one vote....and you can bet your bottom dollar...”the one vote defeat” game plan was set in motion by Obama/Reid long ago, also!!!
Landrieu is now major, burnt toast....and will get slaughtered, politcally, on Saturday, December 6, 2014 in the Louisiana special USA senate election. if there are, one or two voters in Louisiana that are still voting for her ....they are either high on reefer or stoned drunk on Kool-Aid!!! Ms. Landrieu, should withdraw fro the Senate race with dignity, if she has any left. Obama screwed her, Reid screwed her, the Democrat Party screwed her. It’s known as being thrown under the bus. Landrieu....ya screwed up the day ya voted for Obamacare.
Hint: Louisiana voters, turn out in massive numbers and vote against Mary Landrieu, handing her a massive defeat...that she, Obama, Reid and the Democrat Party will never, ever forget. And....Senator Joe Manchin.....you best join the Pubbies....SASPO....you ain’t got no future whatsoever amongst the Democrat Party, scum & vermin. Wake up, Manchin....as a Democrat low life, your political career is disappearing before your eyes!!!
Chicago rule you don’t pay you don’t play.
Reid was paid by Warren Buffet to vote no and to get his rat whores to vote no.
This is just another example of the two critical ways we need to look at anything liberals are involved in:
1. Cui Bono, or who benefits, when bs surrounds and covers up or shrouds their overt or covert actions with any activity with libs in control of where money and power can be gained.
2. Follow the money after #1.
The answer to who benefits when the Keystone pipeline is killed/stalled is simple.
Warren Buffets owns/controls most of the railroad old tank cars and the railroad which bring the oil from Canada to US refineries.
How many of the Rat $inators get a lot of money now and in IOUs from Buffet to keep Keystone dead?

Warren Buffett’s Massive Railroad Lobby

What do train whistles and Warren Buffett have in common?
If you answered old-fashioned charm, you’re wrong.
The Sightline Institute, a Seattle-based think tank, calls the avuncular billionaire “the man behind the exploding trains.”
Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns Union Tank Car Company, North America’s largest leaser of tank cars. Berkshire also owns BNSF Railway Company, which moves many of those cars.
Again the rat’s MSM has hidden this important fact from us.
