McCaskill has surprised me. Being an auditor, she hasn’t been shy about attacking waste. Of course she’s not hitting Democratic sacred cows, instead she is poking the DOD.
Sounds like she’s trying to redo Truman. I think she uses his desk in the Senate.
Claire has in some ways been a pleasant surprise to me, too. Looking at her voting record, though, she is a dyed in the wool liberal. The National Taxpayers Union gives her a D with a 17% rating and the American Conservative Union gives her an 8% rating.
