Keystone Doesn't Make Senate Cloture Vote

++Mary Landrieu tried desperately to find the 60th vote. But she couldn't. Angus King of Maine came out early today to say he was voting against. So the Keystone XL Pipeline stalls with a 59 yes-41 no vote.

++But the stories the last few days about the pipeline shouldn't encourage backers because the job creation numbers were confirmed by the Canadian company and the feasibility of the pipeline seems in doubt with the current price per barrel quotes. 

++But Mitch McConnell said that it would pass in the new congress. It now looks like Keystone is the primary GOP job plan.
