Democrat Claire McCaskill has made it official, filing with the Secretary of State’s office for the US Senate seat held by Republican Jim Talent. McCaskill says she remembers when she filed for a seat in the Missouri House back in 1982. She says it’s still a thrill to come in and file, although she’s glad there’s not the long lines and pressure to be the first to file on the first day available. McCaskill says she can be an independent Senator – not afraid to say no to the President or her party. Talent has not yet filed.
