Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) “earned an extra $70,000 last year — an advance for her forthcoming tell-all book about Missouri’s 2012 Senate campaign,” USA Today reports.
“McCaskill announced last spring that she was working on a behind-the-scenes account of her headline-grabbing Senate race against then-Rep. Todd Akin. She has promised to detail how she helped boost Akin in the Republican primary, because she believed he would be the easiest candidate for her to beat.”
