4. If she didn't occassionly vote like a Rep. I would say she is a leading Pres. candidate for 2016.

5. Five Stars for you McCaskill!

6. I like how, in reality, her speech is not about earmarks

She is talking about hypocrisy. She's not condemning earmarks, per say, but those who wring their hands over them, accuse others of using them, declare their righteousness, and then include more earmarks than their opponents. You go girl!

I wish more Dems would refer to the Repugs as "the minority party" more.

9. "the minority party"

You know, this had me thinking, since words are a very important tool and the recent discussions about the use of "Democrat Party."

There is nothing inaccurate or misleading about referring to them as "the minority party." If they want to play games with the Democratic Party name, I say we always substitute "the minority party" any time you could use the word "republican" or "GOP." Always remind them of where they really are and who's now in power.
