"I'm confident Dr. Cassidy will use this position to succeed where Sen. Landrieu failed," McConnell said in a statement touting Cassidy's support for the Keystone XL pipeline and opposition to Obama administration efforts to place new restrictions on carbon emissions.
"Louisiana will have a senator that will use his clout to support energy jobs, not President (Barack) Obama," McConnell said.

I hope they don't screw up on the Nuclear Option.
They better make the Senate Dems pay.
Through the nose.

Good news here.
He didn't even need to be placed on the committee to win, but glad McConnell and the GOP are trying to run up the score to our benefit.

Keystone is not gonna happen. The only Democrats left in the Senate are the liberal Democrats, moderates like Landrieu (who will prolly lose) are the ones getting the boot. The result is Obama will have very few Democrats to stand with him if he decided to go for Keystone - he won't be able to make it appear as bi-partisan cooperation and compromise - it would appear that he was simply submitting to the Republicans. So its not going to happen.
The new balance in the Senate makes it less likely the Republican will be able to get 60 votes. Its going to be straight up gridlock.
FWIW - I think cloture is a stupid rule and should be abolished. To be fair, if the Senate wanted to get rid of it - it should declare it will be abolished at the start of the next Congress, so each side has an opportunity to win, by election, the spoils of the first cloture free Senate.

Obama will have to veto it. Harry Reid protected him from having to do so but now it will come to obama's desk for approval.

The Republicans do not have 60 votes in the Senate.
