Betty Anne McCaskill gives her daughter "elderly cred" in Joplin

By Antonio D. French

Filed Sunday, March 5 at 1:39 PM

State Auditor Claire McCaskill, who is campaigning to replace Jim Talent in the U.S. Senate, has been touring the state with her mother, Betty Anne, speaking with Missouri seniors about the controversial Medicare Part D program. On Friday, the duo was in Joplin, MO.

From the Joplin Independent:

Betty McCaskill's role was to describe her own medical issues and the frustrations she encountered when trying to contact the bureaucracy handling the new Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. Calling the plan "as far as you get from Missouri common sense," Betty claimed to be the catalyst for her daughter's involvement in the issue.


McCaskill took a page out of the book of Scott Howell, the Republican media guru who will be working on the TV ads for the re-election of Sen. Jim Talent. Howell let slip that his secret for success includes surrounding the candidate with family.

We reported earlier on the McCaskills' visit the the Livingston County Multipurpose Senior Center in Chillicothe, MO.
