"It Can't Be About Who's The Loudest"

IN THE LION'S DEN

Sen. Claire McCaskill's town hall tour continued today in Hillsboro at Jefferson College.

The emotion tied to health care was audibly unavoidable, but that wasn't the worst of it. Two women were escorted out of the auditorium. Most in the hall appeared to be opposed to any type of healthcare reform.

She handled that brilliantly. Way to represent Harry Truman's old seat.
