Landrieu's so-called 'new Louisiana Purchase'

MSNBC: There's been a lot of talk about the $300 million Medicaid "fix" that Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu got for her home state just before voting in favor of cloture last night, thereby putting the Senate health bill on the floor for consideration.
Houma Courier: Landrieu cast a pivotal vote Saturday to advance the Senate health bill for debate but remained uncommitted on the legislation.
The Hill: Landrieu addressed the charges as attacks from "partisan Republican bloggers" during her floor speech on the Senate floor announcing her bill.
