I was just chatting to a co-worker about the Rs dumping the spending bill on the Ds. His reply was that McCaskill already skipped out on something - the freshman orientation of the Senate. I did a quick google and lo and behold I found details. I sure hope this is NOT a trend. I am already going to let Claire know that this is NOT a good way to start off. Appearance is everything at this point and blowing this off only gives the Rs ammo to say that she is not serious about her job. Regardless of planning it beforehand she MUST have known this schedule when she started her campaign. Not making me a happy camper...

No, I am not a troll. I did work for Claire and Gen Frank as well as send a lot of money to various campaigns across the state. I called, canvassed, and stuffed mailers. I plan my vacations around commitments. Heck, I couldn't take vacation when I started my new job until I was employeed 6 months. I knew that going in. It was something I expected if I got hired. I don't want to make her look bad.
