When it came time for the US Senate to vote on the Keystone XL Pipeline, Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-LA) “clout” did not have much of an impact on fellow Democrat senators.

In fact, 35 of the senators who voted against the project were given campaign cash by Landrieu since the 2008 election cycle. Take a look here at the list of senators who don’t seem to acknowledge Landrieu’s “clout.”

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) $10,000 Sen. Richard Blumenthal (R-CT) $5,000 Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) $10,000 Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) $7,000 Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) $10,000 Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) $3,500 Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) $9,000 Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) $10,000 Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) $1,000 Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) $15,000 Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) $5,000 Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) $10,000 Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) $10,000 Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) $10,000 Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) $10,000 Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) $10,000 Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) $7,500 Sen.
