Sen. Claire McCaskillcame out swinging against MO-9 candidate Blaine Luetkemeyer's negative attacks on Judy Baker today: Blaine didn't know what hit him.
McCaskill has become a solid surrogate for Democrats across the country and she forced reporters to take a critical look at Luetkemeyer's latest shot at deception as well as Luetkemeyer rolling out the welcome mat for Dick Cheney:
"You can tell what kind of Congressman a person is going to be by the company they keep," she said. "I have a hard time believing that there are very many Missourians looking to Vice President Dick Cheney right now as a role model of what we want in government."
