I'd be against it. I'd rather Canadian industry fill our refineries. I assume the US desire for Keystone must be to secure heavy oil and it's a Canada vs. Venezuela question, because otherwise I have no idea why anyone there would support it.

Mostly that, but also US labor force involved in construction and monitoring, tens of millions of annual property tax dollars to the states it crosses, and their exporters at the Gulf coast would get a cut of the barrels they load on tankers since we don't have those capabilities here. But yeah, I mean if I was the average American I wouldn't really care all that much one way or the other. It's pretty small potatoes on the general scope of the election it serves more as a sacrificial lamb to the crazies than anything.
