Claire has demonstrated remarkable discipline and class throughout the entire race.

She is your diamond in the rough, Missouri.

Akin is bad news for women and bad news for veterans.
He has voted against the interests of both.

Go Claire!

Re school lunches: Let us not forget that Reagan wanted to reclassify ketchup from condiment to vegetable. Forget that, "Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit." http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/is-a-tomato-a-fruit-or-a-vegetable
Ignorance plus cruelty is the Republican platform.

A vote for Claire McCaskill is a vote for Harry Reid.

That was a joke? It was a plausible campaign strategy, but it definitely wouldn't kill in the Catskills.

The joke is Akin.

I hope he becomes an old joke very soon.

McCaskill's overall restraint has been remarkable with this knuckhead, but then I suppose it's highly frowned upon bad form, you know, to intellectually challenge the more 'special needs' candidates.

Akin IS the joke.

well, bless her heart, of course she mocks Akin, she picked him as the weakest republican candidate.........nevertheless.....she is such a disaster of a candidate/senator herself that he is polling within the margin of error.....in fact, Missourians may just vote for the gafftastic guy to get rid of her and repeal Obamacare.

Obamacare is not going away. Get over it. It might even help people you know.

sure, it will help people who don't mind some nameless faceless gov't worker sitting behind a desk somewhere deciding your medical treatment options without ever so much as a polite 'hello'.

Why do you oppose health?

[homer winslow]

Because it helps normal middle and lower class people and that is anathema to the gop.

Tony DeBello, of Affton, served in Vietnam. After the event he said, "It's interesting how down to earth Claire is. She's the person you'd like to sit down and have a drink with. She is like a neighbor."

Indeed...I know I'd like to raise a beer glass in toast of a McCaskill victory.

McCaskill 2012!
