State Auditor Claire McCaskill, who is running against Republican Sen. Jim Talent, will be heading south next month. Following comments by Congressman Roy Blunt at an annual GOP event, McCaskill will appear at the Joplin Public Library on March 2.
The region "is not a 'Democrat-free zone,'" Sue Cowen, secretary of the Jasper County Democratic Central Committee, recently told The Joplin Globe.
From The Globe: Cowen's remarks counter a remark made earlier this month by U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt at the Lincoln Day banquet staged annually by Jasper and Newton county Republicans. Blunt said the two counties are "Democrat-free" in that all the officeholders in the Jasper and Newton county courthouses, and the local legislative delegations, are Republicans.
