I understand Heitkamp D-ND as pro Keystone.
Shes from a very Red State which has benefited from oil industry. She would never have been elected had she spoken against it.
I wonder if these Dems voted for it in order to advance the bill to Obama's veto pen. Knowing that the Repubs will not have the votes to override anyway, it becomes a move to bring a final end to Keystone.

Yaa Sen Markey speaking now.
