Bill Clinton Heads to the Show Me State
To [stump][1] for Democrat Claire McCaskill this Saturday. McCaskill, Missouri’s state auditor, is challenging Republican Jim Talent for his Senate seat, and current poll shows them in a dead heat, with 47% backing McCaskill versus 46% for Talent. Two percent supported Libertarian Frank Gilmour, while the remaining 5 percent were undecided.
McCaskill drew Republican ire this week, after telling Democratic officials in St. Louis that “George Bush let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black.”

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
