Keystone: Failed. LA-SEN runoff: …DOOM.

A colleague suggests that Mary Landrieu is beyond DOOM, in fact.

Sen. Harry Reid
11% Senate Democrat Average 3% See Full Scorecard 11% ends his career as Senate Majority Leader as he began it. Which is to say, by toadying to the rather disassociated, yet hardcore partisan, establishment figures that run the Democratic party these days.
But let’s be honest. Mary Landrieu’s runoff election campaign wasn’t doing all that spiffy to begin with. The polling has been all Republican-leaning, sure: it’s also exceedingly gruesome for Landrieu, and this has been a bad cycle for claiming that the polls are biased against Democrats. Besides, if Sen. Landrieu had really thought that she was ahead she wouldn’t have grimly gone along with this Keystone stunt. I’ll leave the Senator with this thought:

Moe Lane @moelane Follow You know what would be a really entertaining revenge, Mary Landrieu? Resigning from the Senate. Tonight.

Self serving? Sure. Pure trolling on my part? Most assuredly. An excellent revenge for Landrieu? Absolutely.
