If Michael Bennet thinks kissing Repuke ass is going to save his senate seat next year, he should go talk to Mary Landrieu and Mark Pryor.

Huge Democratic losses were statewide, at nearly all levels of government. It was in large part due to backlash against Obama and Democratic social issues.

I recall an excellent middle school teacher--a public servant none the less--who with great verbal flourish described the expansive wooden desks of presidents and congresscreatures of a far distant time...desks replete with various nooks, crannies, and compartments--"pigeonholes"--within which bills and other assorted matters might be tucked and priooritized for consideration and action. One pigeonhole in particular was a place where bills went to languish for such period of time as necessary for them to die by virtue of inaction by committee, or pocket veto by the president.

Please, Mr. President, take all the time you wish for this. You need not unleash the fateful lightning of your terrible, swift pen. When the Senate adjourns, the bill is dead; no override is possible.

have this thing going through their states?

but this is a vote to end debate, not approve the pipeline. It's possible that some of these Dems would vote No on the bill, but simply think that ending debate is OK.

If it makes it to the President's desk, he will Veto it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-controlled Senate on Thursday approved a bipartisan bill to construct the Keystone XL oil pipeline, defying a presidential veto threat and setting up the first of many battles with the White House over energy and the environment.
