Fascinating. I’m glad to see Senator McCaskill coming out strong for Senator Obama in this race and I think she makes some excellent points regarding the differences in how people are treating his wins and how they would treat Senator Clinton’s wins.

In Columbia, Missouri, I found it interesting that when Missouri politicians, including Senator McCaskill, rallied for Obama, they were situated in the Black Culture Center (a nice place, no doubt, but still interesting implications, especially on a surprisingly segregated campus). When Chelsea Clinton came, she spoke at the primarily student Memorial Union and Bill Clinton spoke at the huge Rec Center.

“To be fair, she wasn’t there to talk Presidential politics but given it’s an election year it’s understandable.”

She did say that she would answer ANY question.

Thanks for blogging this, Jason. I had classes literally all afternoon, but your report was very instructive - almost as good as going myself. I especially appreciate how you let the conservative Republican and liberal Democrat speak for themselves without any editorial “spin” on your part.
