Can Landrieu Buy A Vote? -- November 14, 2014

Reuters via Bakken.com is reporting the Senate is one vote shy of supporting their colleague.

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives prepared to approve the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday, but a similar bill struggled to get enough support in the Senate and President Barack Obama indicated he might use his veto if the bill does get through Congress. 

The Senate was still one vote shy of the 60 needed to overcome a filibuster, or blocking procedure, and pass a companion bill, an aide to a Keystone XL supporter in that chamber said on Friday. The Senate vote is expected next Tuesday.

She can't even buy a vote?

Toast.
