She did vote in favor of the Iraq resolution and has remained supportive of the president on that, his big tax cut and every judicial nominee considered by the full Senate. But since Louisiana is so dependent on federal money, being a rubber stamp for a tax-cutting "fiscally conservative" Republican can be unwise.
