| Landrieu Almost Certain to Lose Her Re-election Bid to Congressman Bil Cassidy |
In a tight vote within the senate and with a change of support for Mary Landrieu (R-LA) within her own party, the Keystone XL bill went dow to defeat by a 59-41 votes.
The bill, known as KXL, needed 60 votes to go to the president's desk for signature.
Top level Whitehouse sources indicated to Political Truth Serum that the president was interested in seeing the bill and may have signed it as a good will gesture to its northern U.S. neighbors.
A variation of the legislation is expected to be reintroduced in the senate for another vote with the incoming 114th Congress in January.
The November 18th senate vote almost insures that Landrieu will lose her election run-off bid against Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-LA) on December 6th and give the Republican Party 54 members in the new Senate.
