Sen. Harry Reid cancels New Orleans fund-raiser

What was the real reason this was canceled? Seems the Senate is not taking up the healthcare bill this weekend but doing appropriations according to Sen Kyl. When you come to think about it, Sen Landrieu might not want Harry Reid in LA with the disaster of a healthcare bill in the Senate with Landrieu being a deciding vote that brought it to the floor after being promised all kinds of money for LA. Taxpayers are tired of their tax dollars being wasted even in their own states.

Another possible scenario is that Demeocrats don't want to give to Reid.

A New Orleans fundraiser scheduled Saturday for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has been canceled as the Senate expects to stay in session over the weekend to continue consideration on the health care overhaul bill.

Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and political strategist James Carville were to host a brunch for Reid at the St. Charles Avenue home of businessman David Voelker.
The entry level contribution was $4,800. Landrieu's office said she would not be in Louisiana this weekend because she will be working on the health care legislation, which is likely to be shaped by floor votes.
