re: Mary Landrieu quote about Obamacare

quote:

---

I hope the cause was worth it for Mary. I think she wins if not for her support of ACA.

I kige this. I can't think of any other vote she cast during her career that would cost her significant support. It's the only one that was both against her constituents' wishes and important enough to affect the election.

The quote in the OP is exactly right though--members of Congress are basically trustees. We hire them to make decisions and if we don't like those decisions, we hire someone else.
