A colleague suggests that Mary Landrieu is beyond DOOM, in fact. Yup. Senator Mary Landrieu’s last, desperate leap for safety came up short: the Keystone Pipeline bill that Rep. Bill Cassidy ch...
Well, Mark Udall, you had a pretty good run. Then, finally, came the only reference to policy in Udall’s speech. “And by the way, I’m proud to stand with Colorado’s women,” he said, al...
