Herseth and "energy week"

Next week, there will be a debate on the energy bill on the House floor, according to a UPI story headlined "Hill Republicans to push energy strategy." It will be interesting to watch Stephanie Herseth's participation in that debate. Last fall, the energy bill came within 2 votes of passage in the Senate, but failed due in part to Tom Daschle's refusal to use his vaunted clout to gather the extra Democratic votes needed for the energy bill to pass.
