Claire McCaskill: “commonsense is taking a vacation.”

I hope, I hope, I hope Matt keeps saying that everywhere he goes, that abortion really isn't an issue in this election.

I think that, fundamentally, voters do understand that we have very, very low unemployment. They see it in their families, that everybody has jobs, everybody can get jobs, their jobs are paying slightly better.

He's focused on himself?

I think it would be very hard for him, with the abortion -- anti-abortion forces in this country that are totally Republican, I think it would be very hard for him to not let there be a vote.
