I've been scanning the news tonight and in the US, it seems the Democrats are pushing for a vote on Keystone, and that's to "save" the member from Louisiana, even while the Republicans probably want to see Keystone approved.

Can someone comment on why this is in a summary way? The proposal won't touch that state. I don't get why in a run-off election it matters (though I understand she, Mary Landrieu, is a proponent).
