Bill Clinton stumps for McCaskill

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton will be in St. Louis next month to speak at a fundraising brunch for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Claire McCaskill.

Organizers say details are still being worked out for the event on September 9.

McCaskill is opposing incumbent Republican Jim Talent, who has had President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in St. Louis to help him raise money.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore carried Missouri in 1992 and 1996, although they earned pluralities in both elections. He might be back for more McCaskill stumping. Greene County Democratic chairman Craig Hosmer told the News-Leader Sunday, "I'd bring Bill Clinton in anywhere he can go."
