Meet The Press: Missouri Senate Debate

[ThePrezMex]

I watched it and I would say it was kind of a tie.
I agree with Phil in that Talent had an 'I don't know why I'm here' face, which was not good. Also he was kind of trapped on the stem cell research issue, which is pretty unfortunate since it seems he's one of the few Republicans who believe in stem cell research.
McCaskill was disciplined and presented herself as a pretty good speaker too. She clearly couldn't give a good explanation about her accusations of Bush being a racist because of Katrina.
Overall, Talent looked way more experienced and with gravitas in my opinion. But his impatience face might hurt him.

Now, before the debate I was totally in favor of McCaskill - now I'm not totally sure.
And the same happened to me a week earlier with the Ohio debate. I was glad that Sherrod Brown was ahead, but after the debate I hated the guy, and I'm really worried that he's going to defeat DeWine - I think Sherrod Brown represents the worst of the Democratic Party: economic populist and weak on terror - why they didn't allow the other guy, the veteran (I forgot his name) run for the seat??  DeWine was pretty moderate.

I want the democrats to win back the Senate, but not by defeating moderate Republicans like Chaffee, DeWine and even Talent (he's not that moderate but he's not the worst of conservatives). I'm on the other hand glad about Santorum - sorry Phil.
