THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE TO BRING ENERGY FROM NORTH AMERICA TO THE US AFTER 10 YEARS OF STUDIES AFTER STUDIES MAY ACTUALLY GET A PASS IN THE SENATE–DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH SINCE THE DEMOCRATS LEADER LIKE HARRY REID (D-NV) RUNS THE SHOW–AS THE HOUSE PASSED THE SAME JOB MAKING BILL THAT WILL NOT COST AMERICANS A DIME YEAR AFTER YEAR AND SINCE THE DEMOCRATS DOES NOT WANT JOBS IT SEEMS THEY HAVE HELD THIS FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLES–ONLY MAYBE WHEN EVERY CITIZEN IS OUT OF WORK OR A DEMOCRAT JOB IS ON THE LINE OF NOT BEING VOTED INTO OFFICE WILL THE DEMS ACT TO HELP THE STRUGGLING AMERICAN CITIZEN FIND A JOB BY CREATING THE OPPORTUNITY THEREOF - SENATOR MARY LANDRIEU (D-LA) SPONSORING A SAVE MY ASS BILL CALLED THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE

The House on Friday passed an identical version of the bill to approve Keystone, which was sponsored by Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.).

Cassidy and Landrieu are battling it out in a Louisiana Senate runoff scheduled for Dec. 6, pushing Keystone to the forefront of the agenda in Congress.

Landrieu has corralled 14 Democrats for the Senate Keystone bill, the latest being Sens. Tom Carper (Del.) and Bennet.

Other Democrats who were seen as possible "yes" votes on the pipeline have declined to join the push.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), who was courted by Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) and Landrieu, will vote “no” on the Keystone bill, his spokesman said Friday.
Nelson supports the pipeline but only with a ban on exporting the oil it transports.
Similarly, Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) said he would against approving the project, which would ship Canadian crude oil from Alberta to Gulf Coast refineries.
A possible fence-sitter, Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), is “leaning no,” according to his spokesman, giving some hope to Keystone supporters that he might change his mind.
Landrieu’s move to push a vote on the pipeline within minutes of Congress returning for the lame-duck session was unexpected, and seen as a move to boost her chances in the runoff against Cassidy.
