Mo. Sen. McCaskill emerging as key Obama supporter - Yahoo! News: "Claire McCaskill, senator from Missouri, is hardly a household name outside her home state. But Barack Obama knows who she is.

She was there when Obama needed her most, a female senator endorsing him just after he lost New Hampshire's Democratic primary to Hillary Rodham Clinton. That was a politically risky move at the time, one that angered many of her own supporters. It came when Obama's clinching the nomination was far from certain.
Since then, the plainspoken former prosecutor and state auditor has been all over TV news and political talk shows as a top surrogate for the campaign. Obama calls her one of his closest advisers. She's even offering guidance on possible vice presidential picks and her name has popped up as a potential running mate."
