DENVER –Claire McCaskill just spoke at a forum called “Unconventional Women.” If there were any hard feelings among supporters of Hillary Clinton, it wasn’t evident in this forum, as attendees gave McCaskill - an early and ardent Obama supporter - standing ovations.

McCaskill, 55, cracked jokes about the Senate, saying she feels young there - “And I’m no spring chicken.”

She said equal pay for women should be a top priority in the coming year, which elicited enthusiastic applause. She also recounted how she was once told she was “too blonde” for politics.
