Today the Senate turned back the Republican’s effort to green light the construction of the Keystone pipeline without President Obama’s approval.
John Hinderaker: At this point, I think it is safe to say that Barack Obama and the Democrats own the price of gasoline.
Glenn Reynolds: OIL? WHY WOULD WE WANT MORE OIL FROM A FRIENDLY COUNTRY?
Kudo’s to the 11 Democrats that crossed the aisle to vote with the Republican’s:
- Max Baucus (Mont.),
- Mark Begich (Alaska)
- Bob Casey (Pa.)
- Kent Conrad (N.D.)
- Kay Hagan (N.C.)
- Mary Landrieu (La.)
- Joe Manchin (W.Va.)
- Claire McCaskill (Mo.)
- Mark Pryor (Ark.)
- Jon Tester (Mont.) and
- Jim Webb (Va.)
Absolutely no surprise that Colorado Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet are not in the above list.
