WASHINGTON (AP) - Snagging a prime time speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention is impressive enough for most politicians. But when Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill takes the podium in Denver on Monday night, she'll be in even rarer company. Her remarks will come right before headline speaker Michelle Obama. McCaskill says her speech will focus on the economic and family hardships Barack Obama and his wife had to overcome to get to where they are now. She'll portray their journey as uniquely American. It will be the largest audience McCaskill has ever addressed -- a live crowd of 21,000, plus a national television audience of millions.
