As soon as she votes 'yea', the RNC should put up billboards all across Louisiana telling voters that their lives and their opinion mean nothing to Landrieu.
NYT — Senate Democrats moved to the brink of a crucial preliminary victory on major health care legislation as Senator Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana, one of two last holdouts, announced on Saturday afternoon that she would vote in favor of bringing the bill to the floor for weeks of full debate.UPDATE:(thanks DrewM)...
“I have decided there are enough significant reforms and safeguards in this bill to move forward, but much more work needs to be done.” said Ms. Landrieu, whose decision left Senator Blanche Lincoln, Democrat of Arkansas, as the only member of the Democratic caucus yet to commit to support opening formal debate.
She said that her vote on Saturday should not be construed as an indication of how she might ultimately vote on the bill. “It is a vote to move forward to continue the good, and essential, and important and imperative work that is underway,” Ms. Landrieu said.
NOLA - The Congressional Budget Office priced the so-called FMAP fix for Louisiana at $100 million, but Landrieu said she expects it will bring $300 million or more in Medicaid funding to the state.
