Claire McCaskill debated Jim Talent this evening in Springfield MO. It was aired on KY3 in Springfield, MO and they have posted the entire debate on their web site. I've got the links here if you missed it and would like to watch the debate.
The debate also aired locally on our PBS channel here in St. Louis, and on C-SPAN. They are due to debate again on Wednesday evening. I watched the debate and thought Claire did pretty well.
Talent continually tried to attack her during the debate, refused to answer her direct question to him on whether he would vote for or against the minimum wage increase proposition that will be on the ballot in MO this November.
She came after him hard for his lack of oversight on the war in Iraq and out of control spending, and at the end of the debate, she answered some of his charges his campaign has been making against her in his TV ads.
I think Talent once again came off as a Bush rubber stamp, and on the attack with very little to say in defense of his own actions and policies in Washington.
