On veep race, McCaskill’s smile says it all
Our Washington bureau has already shown that, when it comes to talking about the veepstakes, Sen. Claire McCaskill has trouble staying mum.
But even when she doesn’t address it, her smile speaks for itself.
On CNN yesterday, Wolf Blitzer had McCaskill on, nominally to discuss the latest controversy surrounding Barack Obama’s vice-presidential search committee.
But then Blitzer, in front of a national cable audience, read McCaskill what Obama said about her in a story from our very own Jo Mannies:
I can tell you, there are very few people who are closer to me, who I have relied on more for counsel or advice. Should I be successful in this campaign, she will be somebody who has the utmost access to the Obama administration.
That sure sounds like somebody who is on the vice-presidential short list, Blitzer said to McCaskill.
“It’s an honor to be mentioned,” a glowing McCaskill replied. “I have complete trust in Senator Obama’s judgment in this regard. And I can’t wait to help President Obama swing some really strong punches for change…”
Pause.
“As a senator from Missouri,” McCaskill finished.
Though for anyone watching the segment — where’s YouTube when you need it? — McCaskill’s broad grin seemed to speak louder than her words.


Dear American Voters,
Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences between the two of these presidential presumptive nominees are as under:
1. Presidential “Temperament and Composer”.
2. Little Washington “insider Versus outsider” experience.
3. “Vision and mission” for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies, ” first U.S.A Centric” than any other country [ ies ] centric.
In my professional opinion Senator Obama leads in all above qualities.
The need of our next movement and generation is a change. The Change in ” past Washington and its Leadership”. A change we can believe in and not the seductive, deceptive, and confusing slogan of “leader we can believe in” [? Effexor ?".
Our Greatgrand Nation has to address many present and future challenges and start with new clean "Slate and Senator".
God Bless America. its diverse people, and our Greatgrand Nation.
Our Greatgrand Nation is needs the CHANGE at every level and for long time.
I am sure Senator Obama with the help of Senator Clinton and her supporters, can deliver that CHANGE.
Please stay involved, stay engaged, and stay informed. Please do not allow any seduction, deception, and or confusion by some partisan media and leaders effect your vote [ Psychological Terrorism ]..
Yours truly,
