She won her election, Claire.
Actually worth considering why Claire McKaskill is “the thing.”
What is the market for Democrats who tried for right-wing voters and failed advising Democrats who appealed to left-wing voters and won.
What, what, what.

I’d find her a lot more valuable to the Democratic party if she maybe stopped winking right and punching left. 
I do understand that McCaskill’s in an increasingly R state.
I also understand that when you’re trying to succeed in a competitive market, it works to offer a sharp distinction.
