TOM STEYER SPENT $74 MILLION AND WHAT DID HE GET? A bunch of Democrats rushing to vote for the Keystone XL pipeline in the hopes of saving Mary Landrieu. “After their midterm losses, there is little political fallout for Senate Democrats to worry about.”
Plus, this amusing vignette:
Before her remarks, Landrieu was spotted riding the escalator alone up from the Senate trains that carry lawmakers between their offices and the Capitol, toward a row of elevators. She was stone-faced and declined to answer questions from reporters. Once she reached the top level and stepped off, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), one of his party’s top campaign strategists, walked over.
Smiling, he asked Landrieu to step aside for a private conversation. She shook her head and moved briskly toward the elevator. As she did, she pointed to her phone, saying she had a call. Schumer paused for a moment as she moved away. His smile dropped, and he turned to follow her. “Mary, Mary,” he said, a few steps behind, asking her to speak with him. When she kept moving and ducked into an elevator, he hustled and jumped in to join her as the doors closed.
Sorry, Chuck. She’s just not that into you.
