I'm happy with something the DNC and Perez have done. Experts, as per O'Donnell show, consider it, especially the prologue, well done and Lawrence Tribe has said it's not a sham effort so I suggest those two ladies support the position of their party. Something McCaskill has not been especially good at lady lately. It's about time someone stood up for us.
