This from Reuters:
Senate staffers pressured Democrats including Chris Coons of Delaware to reverse their opposition to the pipeline. But Coons had used a similar line to King’s in saying Congress should not issue permits when he said last week he would vote no. “He’s still a no,” a Coons aide said Tuesday afternoon.
I don’t get this. Coons has been a solid “no”, so why open the door to a possible yes?
A spokesman for Sen. Chris Coons, who has been in the “no” camp, said by email Monday night that the Delaware Democrat “cares for Senator Landrieu quite a bit, so he’s listening to what she has to say, but I have no reason to believe his position has changed.”
If his position hasn’t changed, that’s the lead.

Oh bullshit. Theose rednecks aren’t going to re-elect her. Its all about corporate lobbiests getting to him
I was thinking maybe Carper, Inc has gotten to him.
PIPELINE DEFEATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, 59-41. Coons stayed firm.
So relieved for my friends in Houston that Keystone tanked. Sen. Carper, shame, shame.
So its still safe to vote for Coons?
