Talent, McCaskill Agree to 3rd Debate
Filed Thursday, August 24, 2006 at 9:03 PM
Sen. Jim Talent and challenger Claire McCaskill today accepted an offer by KYTV, Ozarks Public Television, KSMU and the Springfield News-Leader to debate during prime time on Monday, October 16.
The Springfield debate will be moderated by KY3 News Anchor Jerry Jacob and the panel will include KY3 Political Reporter Dave Catanese, Springfield News-Leader Editorial Board Editor Tony Messenger (what a great name for a reporter) and KSMU Senior Governmental Affairs Reporter Missy Shelton.
The candidates will also meet in Lake Ozark on September 15, at the Missouri Press Association’s Candidate’s Forum, and in Washington, D.C. on October 8, for a debate on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
We’re told that both campaigns are continuing to work together to schedule additional debates in other regions of the state — St. Louis, anyone?
