Talent crisscrossing the State

After rallies with President Bush Friday in Springfield and Joplin, which the campaign estimates were attended by 11,000 people collectively, Sen. Jim Talent continued his trek across Missouri with stops in Perryville, Kennett and West Plains for “Farm and Ranch” rallies with Missouri Farm Bureau President Charlie Kruse.

Yesterday he began his 11-city “Missouri Values Tour” which will feature get-out-the-vote rallies in Jefferson City, St. Joseph, Kirksville, Hannibal, Poplar Bluff, Cape Girardeau, Rolla, St. Louis, Columbia, Kansas City and Springfield.
