Campaign update for sept 27th, 2010

This week in the Missouri Senate election has shown Blunt now in the lead 52-44. An article from Politico has shown that Robin Carnahan has declined to do several debates on public and national TV. The only two debates she agreed upon will not be on TV. The Two televised debates were to be on Fox News and NBC’s “Meet the Press”. Carnahan declined to both and especially to Fox news because Fox is filing a suit against the Carnahan campaign because they are making it look like one of their news anchors is supporting their campaign.

” In a smear ad against political rival Roy Blunt, Defendant Robin Carnahan for Senate, Inc. usurped proprietary footage from the Fox News Network to [make] it appear - falsely - that FNC and Christopher Wallace, one of the nation's most respected political journalists, are endorsing Robin Carnahan's campaign for United State Senate.”

Now what I find weird about Fox News suing the Carnahan campaign is that they were getting a endorsement from a republican and Fox News is a conservative station, so why would the democratic runner want their support in the first place? Personally I would actually want to see the two canadates debate on national TV weather it was NBC or Fox News. But the only two debates are going to be on Missouri public TV, so we'll see what happens.
