1. I told you Republicans wouldn't be happy

[HereSince1628]

2. Um...Dem,

[BeyondGeography]

3. Um...joke

[HereSince1628]

4. Oh, I missed the emoticon.

on edit: Yeah the one that wasn't there... I hate that when it happens

[johnfunk]

9. Pity she doesn't act like a Dem

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. If she did she wouldn't win elections in MO

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. ROFL

[DMacTX]

7. I don't have a lot of time for her.

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.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. I do.

I know her. I've known her for years. She's a good liberal. And the right wing nutjobs in MO just despise her.

[xmas74]

29. we are two of the only people here on DU

who defend 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.

[PatSeg]

31. Good for you

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.

[johnfunk]

8. ROFL

[senseandsensibility]

12. Lol.

Good one.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

5. Was she upset that more wasn't given up?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

10. What would her sticking point(s) be?

I don't keep up with MO politics...

[aaaaaa5a]

11. Giver her a break. She's from MO. That is a hard state for a Dem.

Let her do what she has to do to keep the seat blue.

[JDPriestly]

28. Truman was from Missouri.

[xmas74]

30. And the voters wouldn't elect him

if he were to run I'm this day and age. I live in West Central Missouri-I see and hear it every single day.

[Cha]

13. So why did she strorm out?

[NYC Liberal]

14. LMAO...no she didn't:

@clairecmc
Seriously? This is silly. I walked out of caucus to get my phone which I left in my car. Get a grip press.

Why does anyone still listen to the media or pundits?

(This isn't directed at the OP btw!)

[Cali_Democrat]

15. WOW

Our media sucks.

[deutsey]

22. You mean the same news media that breathlessly told us the prez race

was too close to call?

[Cali_Democrat]

24. Romney is still surging in the polls. He's got all the momentum.

His first debate performance was the most masterfully masterful debate performance this world has ever seen.

[russspeakeasy]

25. News flash....CNN just called it for Obama in a squeaker.

[dionysus]

17. lol

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Figures.

Our media SUCKS.

[gkhouston]

21. LOL. Imagine what they would have tweeted if she'd taken a bathroom break.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. Stormed out, left for a bathroom break or to get their phone. It's all the same to our media!

Gotta love them. They at least do offer comedy relief at times like this.

[Tarheel_Dem]

27. This new instant media makes my head hurt. Rumors disguised as "news" is....

bad for the country, and they almost never retract the initial lie. Our "news media" sucks.

[xmas74]

32. I knew it.

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.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Who the fuck is Jonathan Krohn?

Never heard of him.
