(301 posts)Would happily have seen her replaced by a better Democratic Senator. I ended up donating to her campaign simply because if the importance of her MO seat and her psychotic opponent Akin!
I don't trust her true moral compass.

(96,793 posts)I know her. I've known her for years. She's a good liberal. And the right wing nutjobs in MO just despise her.

She has always said her job is to work for her constituents,not a specific party. Her views fall nearly 90% with the party line.
If she were 100% she'd never win in Missouri.

(47,586 posts)As Democrats, we shouldn't try to put our politicians into molds like republicans do. A senator from Missouri is going to be different than a senator from California. A Barbara Boxer would never get elected in Missouri.

Why does anyone still listen to the media or pundits?

(31,240 posts)bad for the country, and they almost never retract the initial lie. Our "news media" sucks.

(29,676 posts)She's hated her at DU but I like having her as my Senator.
Honestly, I thought maybe it was a bathroom break and someone misreported. Seems to me it's the same difference.
