Folks watching Game 2 of the World Series tonight might have seen this new ad from U.S. Senate candidate Claire McCaskill attacking incumbent Sen. Jim Talent for his record of voting with Pres. George W. Bush.
The 30-second ad highlights Talent’s record of voting 94% of the time in support of the President’s agenda, according to Congressional Quarterly.
Earlier this month, during their “Meet the Press” debate, host Tim Russert asked Talent, “Why shouldn’t voters in Missouri say ‘Jim Talent is a rubber stamp for George W. Bush. If I disagree with George W. Bush, goodbye, Talent’?”
“Why don’t they ever say in those surveys that the president agreed with me a certain percentage of the time?,” joked Talent. “I mean, I’ve been in public life a lot longer when he has. When I went into Congress, I think he was still running the Texas Rangers.”
