I know we seem to talk a lot about Carnahan, but it's just because this race is so filled with drama that it's pretty similar to reality tv shows, which are all the rage these days. In the last debate of Senate campaign, Carnahan and Blunt did not let down those hoping to see more squabbling between the two of them.
No nice words were exchanged between them, except when Blunt mentioned he respected those who participated in the political process. Carnahan mentioned that Blunt did a great job as secretary of state for Missouri, but quickly commented that he changed all that once he became a Washington insider. (To see an article with more detailed insults, click here)
Again, the attacks from Carnahan were that Blunt had more loyalty to his campaign supporters than to his constituents. The two essentially called each other liars back and forth. They both accused each other of wasteful spending--Carnahan attacking Blunt for the bailout money on Wall Street and Blunt attacking Carnahan for the 2009 Federal Stimulus which greatly benefited Carnahan's brother's wind farm.
According to reports, Carnahan was the lead aggressor, which makes sense considering that she is behind in the polls and looking to decrease support for Blunt in whatever ways possible. However, with the identical attacks being repeated by Carnahan and Blunt, we find that neither has much new to say and seems to be resorting to last minute personal attacks to sway undecided voters.
