I'm grateful to be living in Lacy Clay's district. I didn't have to wonder: I knew he'd vote against that FISA travesty. He's an HR 676 co-sponsor. He opposed the war before it ever began. And so forth. His politics are progressive.
So I learned with dismay a couple of days ago that he is endorsing Chris Koster. Jo Mannies at the Post-Dispatch tells us Clay's rationale:
Clay praised Koster's "great courage to cross over into the light'' when he switched political parties last year. Clay also chastised Koster's opponents for repeatedly questioning whether he's a true Democrat.
