  It's around 1:30 and I just got back from a returns party for Claire McCaskill (claireonline.com), a Democratic contender for Missouri governor. Tonight we watched the results come in and found out that she beat incumbent Bob Holden in the Democratic primaries. I hadn't been to one of these things before. They are definitely interesting. If you're interested in the results, that is. We watched Holden concede on a big screen that had been playing results from the local news all night, and then Claire stepped up and talked about beating the Republicans in November.
Very cool. If you have the chance to do something like this, I recommend it. Get involved in politics in your area. And hey, if you live in Missouri, please send some money urlLink Claire's way. Blunt, her Republican opponent, is very well funded and had little primary trouble.
