February 2, 2011 – McCaskill is a genuine reformer; has been since she got elected. She’s been working on reform of the military contracting proces, systemic campaign finance reform, and a meaningful process for cutting the deficit and the debt. Reid is doing the Dem version of the kind of political line-drawing that Republicans have used so effectively to establish their conservative bonafides. Even in the few cases that McCaskill has taken positions I don’t personally agree with, I have found her to be much less prone to political posturing than the majority of Congress Critters.
