MANCHESTER, Mo. (AP) - His poll numbers aren't stellar, but Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Frank Gilmour says he can win if Missouri residents give him a serious look.
A St. Louis Post-Dispatch poll shows Gilmour at two percent, far behind Democrat Claire McCaskill and Republican incumbent Jim Talent.
While national pundits have closely followed the tight race between those two, Gilmour has been touring Missouri talking to voters one-on-one.
Gilmour wants to reduce government control over schools and cut spending to eliminate the federal deficit.

Why is it that KY3 could envision doing a three-candidate debate (Viebrock/Bilyeu/Collins), but not a three-party debate?
I can understand why NBC wouldn't want to do the right thing and include Gilmour on the "Meet the Press" debate, but there's no good reason why he should be kept out of the local one.
Most people when tested on the issues are closer to the libertarian party than the big two, however it takes celebrity or big money to get media attention. Perfect example is Aunt Norma.
It also takes money, and Libertarians in this area don't take special-interest bribes. We're kind of proud of that.
