Tale of Two Senators

Missouri politics I am finding out very much like Illinois, in that they are interesting to watch. Missouri has two Senators just like everyone else (except Minnesota...). We currently are served by one Republican and one Democrat. The Republican has served for many years he is high ranking member in the minority. The Democrat was an early and vocal supporter of Candidate Obama.


One is has become very effective for bringing home the pork to the state and the other cosponsored a bill with John McCain fighting "earmarks" .

Let's look at the video to see which is which.


Claire is my Senator. Even though We only moved here two years ago. I watched her election closely back 2004 as it was one of the last two the give the Democrats control of the senate. I have been impressed every since. Especially when see came out so early and strong supporting Obama, while Hillary Clinton was still in the race.

One more thing, she was one of the first Senators that I know that used twitter. She seems to have a real feel for it's ability to stay in touch and doesn't come off out of place. Take a look for yourself. http://twitter.com/clairecmc
