We here at Claire on the Air would like to extend our prayers and condolences to the McCaskill family for the death of Claire's mother, Betty Anne. In email to her supporters, the Senator honored her memory: "I was incredibly blessed to have a mom like Betty Anne: a woman of great intellect and strength, who loved and nurtured, challenged and pushed, and was always there with wise counsel and great humor."
Even though it is our job as election bloggers to comment on the political, in times of grief, it gives us hope to see the mutual suspension of divisive campaigning to honor a great woman and a great mother. We hope that, during the last week of the campaign, civility rather than animosity and compromise rather than accusation is the rule, not the exception.
